A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Praise for The Gamification of Learning and Instruction

"Kapp argues convincingly that gamification is not just about adding points, levels and badges to an eLearning program, but about fundamentally rethinking learning design. He has put together a brilliant primer for learning professionals on how to gamify learning, packed with useful advice and examples."
ANDERS GRONSTEDT, president, Gronstedt Group

"After reading this book, you′ll never be able to design boring learning again."
CONNIE MALAMED, author, Visual Language For Designers; author/creator of The eLearning Coach Blog

"Engaging, informative and complete; if you need to understand anything about instructional game design, this is the book you need. It provides the right amount of academic evidence, practical advice and insightful design tips to have you creating impactful learning in no time."
SHERRY ENGEL, associate director learning technology, Penn Medicine Center for Innovation and Learning

"What Karl Kapp has done with this book is looked at games and learning from every possible angle....he provocatively asks questions that the learning community needs to answer, like ′Do our design processes still work?′ and ′Are we really meeting the needs of today′s learners?′ This book may make you anxious, make you laugh, or make you angry. But one thing it will definitely do is make you think."
RICH MESCH, experiential learning guru, Performance Development Group

Présentation de l'éditeur

Learning professionals are finding success applying game–based sensibilities to the development of instruction. This is the first book to show how to design online instruction that leverages the best elements of online games to increase learning, retention, and application. It explains how to match different game strategies to types of learning content for the right learning outcome and discusses how gamification techniques can be used in a variety of settings to improve learning, retention and application of knowledge. Supported by peer–reviewed studies and examples from corporations who have adopted game–based learning successfully, the book illustrates how combining instructional design thinking with game concepts can create engaged and interactive learning experiences across a variety of media, from online to face–to–face.
