The title must have caught your attention by now.
When education or training becomes boring, that’s when we lose the learner. “Learning” involves more than just memorizing information and facts. It requires us to retain their thoughts and then to apply those in a scenario. After reading this, you can expect your learners to engage through gaming. This can be implemented as workforce engagement. The learning becomes skills and then we can apply it in a real-life situation even under pressure, in a variety of circumstances.
The games or learning games do just that, they present the facts in an interesting manner so that one can retain them in their mind, and then the games make you apply those newly minted ideas into a real situation.
With a good game design you can create an ideal learning environment.
With interactive games we enjoy the learning experiences and remain motivated and actively engaged in the learning process.
So, say hello to game-based learning.
And create a game-based learning designs with a target to lure the learners into a virtual environments that is similar to the business environment that they will work in. This will strike their curiosity and at the same time enable them to quickly see and understand the connection between the learning experience and the real-life work/process.
In a good gaming environment, one will work towards a real life skill/knowledge goal. Based on the responses to the gaming stimulus various consequences or outcomes can be seen. In this risk-free setting the learners are encouraged to make mistakes, and experiment with options.
