Resources from Training Magazine Network Webinar

In this webinar, for Training Magazine Network, I discussed how Gamification should be thought of as a design sensibility and not merely a digital tool. We talked about how gamification and game-thinking is more of a thought process and a methodology to engage and motivate learners. We explore several methods for applying game-thinking to your online and classroom learning designs by participating in a gamified learning event. .
