We were recently privileged to speak at the L&D COP (center of practice) conference with the theme of Gamification. We shared some practical gamification applications such as how we gamified the Accelerated Learning books and workshops, our umu mobile engagement tool and our SimTalent Boardgame for building skill in managing talent effectively. During the session we did a umu pulse on how the +100 people in the audience were experiencing gamification in the world of learning. Questions included:
- What gamification mechanics are you regularly using in your learning programs?
- Which intrinsic motivators do you regularly structure into your learning design?
- How would you rate your current level of competence in gamification?
- How do you feel about the value of gamification in enhancing engagement and learning in the workplace?
The results are shared below from our umu mobile engagement tool (www.umu.com).
