  • Gamification is a hot concept in the e-learning world.
  • We know we have to engage and keep learners learning.
  • We know people struggle to find time to take classes, go to conferences, & generally engage in professional development.
  • We know that easily more than half of the workforce was raised in a gaming culture.
  • So it seems like gamification is a one-size-fits-all solution.

But hold on…let’s not make that leap just yet. Just because it’s a hot concept doesn’t mean it’s the right concept for all situations. They will ask a few simple questions to help determine if gamification is the perfect solution. And share tips to meet your learning goals if it is.
