- Gartner Research

In a sequel to Intrepid Learning’s popular webinar Make Learning Stick: How Games Help Improve Performance, Jason Gorfine, resident customer experience and user interface expert, will take a deep dive into the eight principles of HOW games help us learn. Join Jason for an examination of how “gamifying” a concept can turn obligatory, less-that-exciting tasks from mind-numbing to manageable (and maybe even fun).  
Jason will cover a brief history of humanity’s affinity for games, give an overview of the importance of gaming, and a take a tour through of the eight principles of learning (with corresponding real-world examples):

  • Engagement
  • Reinforcing Behavior
  • Active Participation
  • Emotional Appeal
  • Feedback
  • Skills Practice
  • Teamwork
  • and last, but not least… Fun!

  • Enable people in your organization to acquire new skills and improve performance by applying gaming principles
