Dr. Julia talks about how a generic approach to gamification where you're just issuing badges and awards doesn't really work. If your effort is only tied to the completion of courses and not to something that matters for your organization or learning program, you're wasting your time and won’t see much of an impact.
She shares, "The primary goal of gamification is not to give people rewards for their behavior, it's to engage them... motivating them to do something".
Here’s what was covered:
- Gamification: Definition and Goals
