The Gamification of Learning: A Certification for Talent Development and HR Professionals

Spend a day learning about gamification and become a better, higher-rated and considerably more effective trainer, teacher, instructional designer or human resource professional! This program is like no conference or workshop you’ve attended. The Sententia Gamification LIVE Certification is a complete immersion experience designed to leave you creatively inspired and technically masterful. Be prepared to come and PLAY FULL OUT for the entire day to dramatically improve your learning and development results and significantly increase your credibility and influence as a professional.

Simply defined, gamification uses game mechanics and rewards for non-game applications in order to increase engagement, transfer knowledge and create loyalty. Gamification is about motivational design, and is the process of using game mechanics and game thinking in non-gaming contexts to engage users and to solve problems. Gamification is founded in the fundamentals of human psychology and behavioral science, and rests on three primary factors: motivation, ability level and triggers.

Gamification is not about simply rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviors which companies want to encourage among their employees and customers. Gamification includes a robust set of game mechanics including chance, competition, collaboration, knowledge sharing, badges, points, leaderboards, status, achievement, exploration, teamwork and so much more.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand how key concepts found in behavioral psychology and game design can increase learning and engagement.
• Have a five-part process for gamifying a learning program.
• Demonstrate a return on investment for your gamified learning program.
