    Gamification is a term used to describe the process of adding games or game-like elements to activities that are not play related, to encourage participation, engagement, and meaningful experiences. In recent years, gamification has proven to be an excellent vehicle for learning, knowledge retention, and behavioral design, particularly in the areas of product development, marketing, sales, skills development/training, customer interactions, interpersonal communication, and education.

    This talk provides learning professionals with a high-level understanding of how to use the power of game thinking and play to create programs that excite students and fuel their desire to learn. We will:
    • Introduce and define the concept of gamification
    • Examine the value, benefits, opportunities, and potential red flags for integrating it into a learning program
    • Explore the different types of games that exist and the elements that make them compelling and positive experiences for the players
    • Look at current trends in gaming in education including the emergence of immersive platforms like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
    • Review samples of existing gamification applications in a learning environment
    • Wrap up the discussion with some key takeaways

    Talk Time: 30 minutes
    Q&A Time: 10 minutes and one-to-one follow up meetings for more individualized questions
