What Are The Pros Of Learning Gamification?
While there are pitfalls to be aware of, when eLearning gamification is done right, organizations can reap many rewards.

About This eBook
What can you do to prevent eLearning gamification mistakes from becoming a distraction rather than a valuable L&D tool? Here’s a brief overview of what you’ll find in this guide by ELB Learning:
- Do Not Push Ineffective Training: Gamification can increase engagement, but learners will quickly lose interest if they aren’t getting the most from the experience or the content isn’t relevant.
- Do Not Drive Unsustainable Productivity: Points, streaks, and leaderboards may lead to some short-term gains, but in the long run, it results in mistakes and burnout.
- Do Not Prioritize Speed Over Quality: You do not want people to simply click through an eLearning course without really learning anything or keep making the same mistakes on the job because they’re racing through the content.
