Presented by Carol D. Clark, Game On! Learning

Knowledge retention is a big part of an employee’s daily life, so promoting the most effective types of learning isn’t just important for the employee, it’s essential to an organization’s growth. Gamification improves knowledge. Most people start learning to play games at a young age, and the human brain is built for game play. Certain functions in the brain organically work toward logical problem solving. Gaming takes this natural process and makes it fun and rewarding. Typically, this requires the player to remember information, make judgments and seek certain outcomes. Jeanne Meister, author of Corporate Universities, said that interactive learning games can increase long-term retention rates by up to 10 times -- a significant statistic when considering knowledge retention.

What you'll learn:
  • What is this Game Stuff?
  • Why Game-Based Learning in Corporate Workforce Development
  • Measuring Performance Impact: Can Serious Games Stack Up?
  • Mobile and Knowledge Learning Games
  • Implementation Strategies for Game-Based Learning
