Gamification enhances eLearning by making it more engaging, interactive, and motivating. It encourages active participation and boosts retention. It also provides immediate feedback, helping learners track progress and stay committed to their goals while creating an enjoyable and immersive learning experience.

That said, every course is not suitable for a game. As always, this depends on the learning objectives and if a game can enhance the experience.

Select the image below to launch a sample eLearning game I created to showcase elements like personalization (learner name displayed), choose your character, a learner progress bar at the top, quiz questions with scoring and branching to display a different result based on your accomplishment. There’s even an option for a “dance party”, because who doesn’t love a good dance party?
