We know that every organisation is constantly on the lookout for new and improved ways of providing training to effective teams.
The struggle to continuously engage team members when it comes to mandatory training can be a challenge. Next to microlearning, gamification of training has proved to be more effective long term while keeping the attention of delegates during training.
But what is gamification training and why would it work better than traditional online courses?
What is Gamification in Training?
Gamification in training is the integration of game design within training by providing a game-like experience utilising things such as:
- Point systems
- Badges and achievements
- Leader boards
- Levels
- Challenges
- Rewards
- Immediate feedback
- Incorporating storytelling
Gamification is done to motivate trainees to continue and makes memorising and developing skills easier as it is more engaging than sitting and listening.
Why Does Gamification Work?
Gamification of study material works supporting all delegates no matter their learning style in engaging environments that hold their attention, engagement, and motivation. As a direct result, delegates can retain information better over prolonged periods.
Retention of information and skills varies from person to person but as learning needs have evolved alongside technological advancements, such as AI, it is essential to provide innovative training approaches.
Traditional training is not suitable for everyone and can lead to frustration overwhelm and lack of skill development.
Benefits of Embracing Gamification in ISO Training
Just some of the benefits delegates receive when gamification training is introduced in ISO training:
- More interactive and fun training ensuring increasing engagement.
- Training makes repetition and reinforcement seamless by ensuring delegates are actively participating and enjoying the process.
- Leader boards encourage healthy competition and motivate delegates to perform better and stay engaged.
- Training caters to all learning styles which includes visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic ensuring all delegates can grasp the content.
- Reduction in anxiety and resistance to training.
- Fosters collaboration and teamwork within your teams.
Making Online ISO Training More Effective
Training for ISO Management Systems will always cover complex concepts and requirements. Through gamification, these concepts can be broken down and more easily understood.
Gamification training enables delegates to apply the knowledge they are learning in real-world situations through quizzes and interactive games. Immediate responses through our platform enables delegates to understand where they made a mistake and makes learning and retention easier.
Through easily digestible gamification training even the most complex ISO Standard can be understood by all delegates, by tracking badges and quizzes it makes it easier to provide proof of competency which is essential for ISO training.
