Gamification for Training: going from boring to exciting
Even world-leading software companies like Microsoft are jumping on the train of Human-focused design and Gamification to create powerful user engagement. The way we learn and adapt to new technologies is changing. We are no longer stuck with the same boring methods that have been constantly used in the past centuries.
With the help of The Octalysis Group, the Azure team at Microsoft created a brand new learning platform that tackles the right gamified features to motivate and engage its users in compelling learning journeys.
The system tracks and rewards the effort and effectiveness of every person’s learning journey with a set of unique achievement symbols and status points (game techniques #1 and #2 in Octalysis).
These are the basis for what later becomes a much more intrinsic, White Hat experience.
