I work for a financial institution (credit union) and we are looking to take our existing online product training and enhance/redesign it with gamification. I'm curious if anyone has any experience developing gaming for training or have used any vendors to develop this type of approach?
Some additonal items:
we need to integrate it with SumTotal LMS
we would like to incorporate leaderboards, badging, social recogniton, etc.
Any input or points in the right direction would be appreciated!
All good points. I agree with some and do not with some.
Bottom line is anything done for the sake of gamification without a proper though process and without a story/mission/challenge/purpose is bound to fail. This is a general rule of thumb for failure anyway.. I take point from all those who are not so much in favour of gamification e-learning but then what else can we do. Do we just stick to page turning e-learning which the whole industry is crying about and desperately want to get away from?
All these techniques are needed just to bring the much needed changes in e-learning which also bring little bit of fun to e-learning and something different to the users which I believe is definitely more engaging.
Technology is still not advance enough otherwise I would like to bring VR, AR to e-learning, sure that is not possible for now atleast.
Is innovating and bringing new ideas to e-learning a bad thing? .. I don't think so
