Description

Gamifying learning is being increasingly explored as a way to motivate learners. This short course on gamification in learning is meant to help you develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept. It addresses the difference between gamification and game-based learning and explores how gamifying can enhance the learning experience.  While games add an element of motivation, helps enhance decision-making capabilities, and allow creative application of learning theories, they also increase the cognitive load and hence must be used carefully.
