Game-Inspired Learning

Games motivate learning and practice while making learning fun. We use game contexts and mechanics to achieve outstanding learning results.

Popular games inspire players to invest huge amounts of time to achieve success within a game. Modern games no longer employ a win-or-lose-all concept; they build on successive strategies and actions to win smaller and progressively more difficult victories that further motivate the player to continue playing and striving to achieve the next level of success.

Game-based learning theory takes this same concept and builds it into an inspired method of presenting a given curriculum. Students work to achieve a certain level of success, choosing actions and experiencing the consequences of those actions along the way. They learn by trial and error how to plan and execute the proper methods or actions that will lead to success and avoid failure.

Game-inspired Learning uses common aspects of modern digital gaming to create exciting and engaging learning experiences. Some of these shared principles include:

Clear goals for each level of achievement
Specific challenges to be conquered or mastered

Repeated practice that's essential to succeed
Assessments measure the level of success/learning

Games motivate learning and practice while making learning fun. At Allen Interactions, we use game contexts and mechanics to achieve outstanding learning results. For those employees or other learners who struggle to learn in more traditional settings, game-inspired learning can revolutionize the way they adapt to, absorb, and embrace corporate training and required learning.
