Gamifying Elements for Better E-learning Experience
Gamification in e-learning involves incorporating game-inspired elements, such as reward system, varying difficulty levels, and challenges into a non-game environment. It can be combined with other approaches in e-learning for better learning experience when implemented effectively. Besides, it also injects excitement, motivation, and a spirit of friendly competition. In this article, we will present the five key reasons to use gamification in e-learning:
- Personalisation
- Interactive hint
- Instant reward
- Timer challenge
- Interesting feedback feature
Character selection and personalisation for better learning engagement
Learners are given a personalised experience by selecting their character and name that are shown throughout the game. Hence, this personalisation feature can instantly capture their attention and enhance engagement to complete the learning.
Interactive hint feature for guidance
Learners can refer to interactive hints that help them to complete assessments or any knowledge check in the e-learning when going through the challenge. This interactive hint feature can support learners, so that they can learn confidently and complete the challenge.
Instant reward to promote learning motivation
The instant reward system motivates learners to continue learning for completing tasks or reaching milestones. Furthermore, this feature taps into learners’ motivation to actively pursue knowledge and skills with the anticipation of the next reward.
Timer challenge to add in more excitement in gamification
The timer adds time pressure and challenge where learners complete tasks or answer questions within a specified timeframe. This feature also increases the difficulty that led to enhancing their focus and concentration. In addition, the timer simulates real-world scenarios where time management and swift thinking are crucial for certain urgent tasks.
Interesting feedback approach for memory retention
The feedback feature is presented in various ways for effective learning. For this demo, the feedback recaps the important points of securing data confidentiality after completing the time challenge game. Overall, the combination of time challenge and interesting feedback enhance memory retention for long-term knowledge acquisition.
