Session Outline
First we will define the terminology of gamification and game based learning as it applies to the corporate learning environment. We will look at the content domains of knowledge, concepts, and skills and explore what might be appropriate use cases for each type of gamification and game-based learning.
Next we will examine the present state of eLearning in corporate training and how game-based learning might be employed to improve learning and retention. We will review the brain science behind game-based learning and how it addresses the four C’s: communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills.
