Playing games at work? What a waste of time! Or is it …

Gamification has been a hotly debated topic in L&D for the past 15 years. Some people contend that it’s just a buzzword. Others swear by its ability to foster motivation and build good learning habits. Gamification is more than adding points and leaderboards to boring eLearning. To do it right, you must thoughtfully apply the right mix of mechanics based on a deep understanding of your workplace culture.

Let’s settle the gamification debate once and for all with the man who literally wrote the book on the subject. JD is joined by Karl Kapp - professor, author and gamification consultant - for a no-nonsense conversation on the dos and don’ts of gamification. Karl also gives us a behind the scenes look at his new YouTube series - The Unofficial, Unauthorized History of Learning Games.
