Webinar presented by Lotta Krickel from Actionbound on June 24, 2021
Gamification is on everyone's lips, people are encouraged to play everywhere – in schools, universities, at the workplace and for marketing purposes. Games are supposed to motivate us, making learning more fun and sustainable. That sounds great in theory, but is quite difficult to accomplish in practice.
According to current research the long celebrated positive effects of gamification might not be so positive at all. Learning and memory are far more complicated and need more attention than simply gaming elements and calling it a day.
