Gamification

Application of game-design elements in e-learning to increase user engagement and enhance the learning experience.

--

Gamification is the incorporation of game design elements into non-game environments, such as employee training or customer engagement. It leverages rewards, challenges, and leaderboards to motivate users, increase engagement, and improve learning outcomes.

In the context of virtual IT labs, like those offered by Instruqt, gamification drives participation by rewarding learners as they successfully complete tasks or challenges within the platform. This technique boosts user engagement, facilitates learning retention, and fosters a competitive yet collaborative atmosphere that enhances skill development.
