Gamification & Microlearning: Cater to Short Attention Span – Don’t Bore People!

Life is not a game…at least, not always. Gamification and microlearning – Here to stay – or just another fad? Here’s our take!

Merging gamification and microlearning like a zipper for training and eLearning purposes can work wonders.

When you combine these two learning strategies, you are actually addressing one of the core issues of this decade…even decades:

 Our (very) short attention span

Wait…Where were we??

Oh…Right.

Throw the fact that remote work is becoming the new normal in the mix, we are left with no other choice than to rethink our approach to corporate training. There’s no way around it.

While gamification uses game elements like quizzes, tests, badges, and certificates (micro-credentials) to make learning engaging and addictive, microlearning utilizes vivid visuals and short, engaging videos – content that minimizes information overload, and helps learners with short attention spans to gain knowledge in a much more focused & faster way.

Gamified microlearning is, actually, a thrilling way of learning. It taps into how the brain works by cutting across the spheres of:

• Employee Training
• Customer Education
• Partner Training
• Educational Programs

Short and committed video learning is engaging, motivating, rewarding – and even fun.
