Reaching Online Learners through Gamification Infographic

A key issue within eLearning (and training in general) is generating enough motivation so that students will want to invest the time and effort required to learn. In the field of online education, gamification is used to promote the commitment of employees and students to the learning process. The Reaching Online Learners through Gamification Infographic provides tips on how you can gamify your eLearning courses and motivate your online learners.

How You Can Gamify Your eLearning Courses

1. Challenges
   Build a learning experience with decision points based on real situations and choices with an increasing level of difficulty. A great game typically has a compelling story and a journey full of challenges. Tip: Convert learning objectives into challenges.
2. Hero
   Put your participants in the driver's seat. The player (participant-student) is the protagonist and hero of your story.
3. Points (consequences)
   Provide instant feedback, just like the feedback they'd receive within a game. Gamification in eLearning works best when you allow your participants to experience the consequences of their decisions. Let them know their progress. Do they need to work a little harder?
4. Rewards
   These include coins, badges, medals, trophies, treasures, etc .
5. Rules of the game
   It’s suggested that you explain the mechanics of the game and detail the means to earn points and rewards.
