From virtual expos to e-learning experiences, Cadpeople is dedicated to helping clients develop a wide range of digital learning solutions. One key element in enhancing these experiences is gamification, which not only boosts user engagement but also plays a crucial role in how we design and implement digital learning.
In this article, we will explore what gamification is, how it works, and how Cadpeople integrates it into creating impactful digital learning experiences.
What is gamification?
Gamification is a strategic approach that uses game-like elements to motivate users and influence behaviour. By incorporating game mechanics such as levels, objectives and rewards, it’s possible to create a more engaging and effective experience for end users.
How does it work?
When people interact with game-like elements, it triggers certain primal instincts within us. One of the outcomes is the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine, which creates a sense of achievement and reward.
By weaving these game mechanics into everyday or routine tasks, otherwise mundane activities can become engaging experiences, leading to stronger and more meaningful learning outcomes.
When to use gamification
We are all faced with mandatory education and tasks related to our fields of work. Regardless of the subject matter, there mere fact that these activities are mandatory reduces motivation.
Now, imagine turning something as routine as cleaning your desk or logging work hours into a game where you compete with your coworkers. For some, this level of competition provides enough motivation – being the first at completing a task becomes the focus. The recurring, tiresome nature of the task fades into the background, and instead, the excitement of competing takes center stage.
So when can you use gamification? When done right, it can be applied in most situations.
Elevating digital learning experiences
An example of our work with gamification is our collaboration with The Knowledge Center for Welfare and Assistive Technology West Denmark and The Danish Techbilogical institute in the ViVa project. As the demand for elder care grows, we needed a solution that would equip caregivers with the skills to handle welfare technologies effectively. Using virtual reality (VR) and touch screen technology, we created a dynamic and immersive training platform.
The solution allows students to use Oculus VR headsets and interactive touch screen to practice real-world tasks in simulated environments. These elements of gamification – realistic simulations, interactive challenges and instant feedback – motivate learners by providing a sense of accomplishment as they master complex care technologies.
The ViVa project demonstrates how gamification can transform traditional learning into an interactive and future-proof experience, perfectly aligned with our mission to enhance digital learning across industries.
