Has the use of digital technology—including desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, and other devices—changed how people learn? And, if we believe the use of technology has impacted learning, how do we harness the power of new technologies to deliver learning experiences that are effective and engaging?

It’s very important to address these issues as we continue to experience remote and hybrid workplaces supporting a distributed workforce. And while these are somewhat broad questions, we can begin to find the answers we need by asking the journalistic questions: we can examine the who, what, where, when, why, and how of learning to get a sense of the impact technology is having and how that needs to inform our learning design.

It was circa 2011 when the term «gamification» first began to gain traction in the Learning and Development world. The buzz around the application of gameplay elements in non-gaming settings prompted numerous TED Talks, a sold-out «Gamification Summit» in San Francisco, a glut of books on the subject of gamification, and bold claims about how it was going to revolutionize employee engagement.

A decade on and we’re—still—dealing with a global pandemic that has employers justifiably concerned about the levels of motivation and engagement in their dispersed workforce and how this is affecting productivity and resilience. So, do these difficult times provide gamification with the opportunity to really come into its own, get learners more engaged with workplace learning, and prove that it’s more relevant than ever.

The theory behind game-based eLearning is that learners learn best when they have goals or targets to reach while also having fun. Game-based eLearning takes the competitive and scoring elements of video games, like points, levels, badges, and leaderboards, and applies them to an instructional context. Elements of game-based learning also include goals, rules, and objectives and can involve conflict, competition, and cooperation.

According to Brandon Hall Group’s Impact of Strategic Onboarding Study, companies suffer a 12% voluntary attrition among new hires, and most attrition occurs within the first 6 months in 51% of companies.

Not surprisingly, onboarding is a top business priority today. Mark Stein and Lilith Christiansen, authors of Successful Onboarding [2], affirm: “Successful onboarding is far more than traditional orientation in new clothes; it is an innovative strategic program that can boost a company’s bottom line and improve its future prospects.”

As eLearning experiences continue to scale as the de facto modality for learners in a remote world, it’s increasingly important for designers and developers to craft content that’s engaging, applicable, and empathetic to the needs of learners. Time is a very limited resource, and our job is to convince employees and leaders that learning is worth the investment.

As it stands, it’s simply too easy for learners to disengage with online learning by multitasking, button-smashing through content, or disregarding opportunities altogether. In these all-too-common scenarios, even if the completion rates are high, the amount of actual learning transfer may still be low—in which case, what’s the point? Moreover, research shows that once we think we’re good enough at our jobs (usually after just a few years in a profession), we stop trying to learn and instead focus solely on our daily work.

On December 3rd, 2018, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed January 24th as the International Day of Education in celebration of its role in peace and development. With this action, they solidified their belief that as long as people are free to practice their right to education, we can nurture a more peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive future.

Expanding our horizons and learning new things never lose their significance, regardless of one’s age or profession. People start developing their learning “muscles” at a young age with traditional education, and they hopefully move on to become lifelong learners that constantly strive to obtain new knowledge outside of the formal education system. If you’re considering becoming a lifelong learner yourself, join us in exploring the whats, whys, and hows of lifelong learning.

Gamification in corporate training has been around for quite some time. Many firms are adopting this concept to take advantage of the numerous benefits it provides. The use of gamified learning in corporate training has only grown in popularity since it was first introduced. To make the learning process very attractive and interactive by including game elements and game mechanics in the non-game contexts of corporate learning and corporate training can be described as corporate training gamification.

Today, it’s on the verge of becoming a common practice in the workplace. While this idea has many notable benefits, the main benefit of corporate training using games is that it encourages learners’ involvement and provides a lasting learning experience.
