What is Game Based Learning?

Game based learning is the process of taking content that already exists from the client – regardless of the industry vertical or business process type – and creating a narrative-driven game based on the content to help engage users with the content. Game Based learning takes a hybrid of scientific and artistic approaches to transform corporate training into a learning experience that allows for better retention, improved understanding and overall, better productivity from the learner.

Gamification is an often misunderstood term and often gets confused with game based learning. Game Based Learning are games that have been designed and created with the purpose of providing training (albeit in a fun and engaging manner) on specific corporate training topics. Gamification, on the other hand, functions more as a fun layer added to augment the experience of what is already an existing user experience, in order to use the power of game mechanics to motivate the player to complete specific objectives (which are planned prior to designing the gamification layer).
