Gamifying eLearning

Is Your Gamification Actually Working?

Stop just adding badges. Start driving real learning outcomes with gamification. 

You know gamification can make eLearning more engaging, right? But are your points, leaderboards, and shiny graphics actually helping your learners achieve their goals? Or are they just… distractions?   

Professor Karl Kapp, a leading expert in instructional design and technology and author of “Action-First Learning,” knows that effective gamification is more than just fun and games. It’s about weaving engaging experiences directly into your curriculum, offering meaningful challenges, and ultimately boosting learning retention and application.  

Ready to transform your gamified eLearning from a novelty into a powerful learning tool?  

Professor Kapp’s essential checklist will help you evaluate if your gamification strategy is truly driving learning and engagement. Ask yourself:  

  • Is the “fun” integrated with the learning content, or is it just tacked on?  

  • Does the experience offer replay value that reinforces key concepts?  

  • Are the challenges progressively difficult, encouraging growth and mastery?  

  • Most importantly: Is the gamified experience actually helping learners understand and apply what they’re learning?  

Don’t let your gamification efforts fall flat. Get your hands on this crucial checklist and ensure you’re building learning experiences that are not only engaging but truly effective.
