It thinks I’m Karel!

Hello.

5 ANDREA – nerd
How can it ask you that?

Not what I was expecting

Gamification increases learning by increasing people’s interest in a training topic, like making parody videos to teach about LITFOW elements.

12 ANDREA
Game mechanics like scoring, badges, and leaderboards improve motivation.

And, brain science tells us that the release of endorphins and serotonin keep people hooked in a game.

14 ANDREA
Finally, social learning driven by chats and notifications also makes gamification one of the most powerful LITFOW elements in the list.

15 ANDREA-nerd
So, are we going to play a game?

16 CHRIS-nerd
How about Global Thermonuc–

17 ANDREA
Nevermind, let’s just keep them focused on gamifying their learning…

Right, thanks Andrea! So tell me, do you gamify learning? What do you currently use to improve learning in the flow of work?

Comment down below, and until next time.
