Workshop Topics:

Games, Gamification and the Quest for Engagement

Based on the bestselling learning book, “The Gamification of Learning and Instruction” this keynote address introduces, defines, and describes the concept of gamification, games for learning and interactivity. It then dissects the elements of games and describes how they can be applied to the design and development of interactive learning. The keynote is based on solid research including peer-reviewed results from dozens of studies that offer insights into why game-based thinking and mechanics makes for engaged employees, consumers and fans. Not all games or gamification efforts are the same, creating engaging experiences using game-based thinking requires matching content with the right game mechanics and game thinking. Moving beyond the theoretical considerations, the presentation explores methods for designing interactive experiences based on concepts from games with examples from various industries.

Gamification as a Competitive Advantage

Gamification is the concept of using “game-based mechanics, aesthetics and game thinking to engage people, motivate action, promote learning, and solve problems” but what does this mean as a practical strategy? What does it look like in action? How does an organization decide what to gamify and what not to gamify? How is gamification used to attract customers, retain employees and promote learning? Can Gamification really be a competitive advantage? Join Karl as he dissects those questions in an interactive and fun manner. Laugh, ponder and debate as he shows you, step-by-step how you and your organization can gain a competitive advantage through games and gamification.
