How to make a gamified quiz

Dec 29, 2014

Hello everybody,

I've been reading a lot about gamification in e-learning and it sounds like a good way to keep learners interested. Can anyone give me some advice on how to quickly turn my multiple choice quiz into a "gamified" quiz? I'm at a loss at where to start...

Thanks for your help,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Gamification has definitely a buzzword these past few years! If you didn't already come across it in your research, this article may help you get started. Here is link to an older thread dedicated to gamification that you may want to check out.

I think the main thing to keep in mind is that "gamification" doesn't equal "full on game." You can incorporate game-like elements (decision-making, dynamic feedback, etc) without spending tons of time and money on development.

Does anyone have any examples of gamified quizzes made with quizmaker they'd be willing (and able) to share?

Hi Brain,

I'm currently working on a new template for quiz gamification for a presentation at TechKnowledge in January. Once I've completed it, I'll share it here. 

Also, here is a trivia game template that I created. This has some gamification elements, which can be used for a quiz. Let me know if you have any questions. THANKS!

Hi Brian,

Recently I worked on creating a Family Feud-Styled quiz which usually works for questions with multiple correct answers (if you are familiar with the game). However, I'm adding a modified template here with slides for 4, 3 and 1 correct answers.  So, technically this can be used as a quiz.  I would recommend replacing the Family Feud backgrounds and audio for licensing purposes.
