Lightweight Gamification for Serious Learning

Elizabeth Patience

What happens when you bring game mechanics—like timers, points, and visual feedback—into a traditional eLearning course? Surprisingly, even skeptics were won over. This session explores how two interactions built in Articulate Storyline used light gamification to boost engagement without sacrificing seriousness or subject matter credibility. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at the design choices, unexpected reactions from SMEs, and practical tips for making gamified learning experiences work—no VR headset required.
