GBL methodology and the Academy
Game-based learning and gamified content
Gamification is the addition of gaming elements to non-game settings. Games have inbuilt motivators like a sense of progress, challenge, competition, and reward, which can be harnessed to improve engagement with your users.
Game-based learning, as we define it, goes further, where the game itself is the learning experience and built for that purpose. The core elements in the Serious games created with the Editor are
- High-quality, relevant content
- Engaging story and game-play
- Practical simulations and interactions
