BuildEmpire adds gamification elements to its Edition meaning that customers can automatically access learner engagement tools.
We know how important learner engagement is.
In fact, it’s often cited as one of the biggest L&D challenges.
And for no surprise.
Learning in the workplace doesn’t always have a great reputation.
It can be seen as stuffy and boring.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
As we learn more about how humans like to engage; thanks to social media, other apps and more, we can bring new and exciting strategies to our learning platforms.
Instilling a culture of competition
Competition can positively impact your workforce.
It can encourage dopamine release as they complete challenges, earn points, and overtake colleagues on leaderboards.
But achieving this in your learning platform isn’t easy.
Most learning solutions just offer basic platforms that allow you to present learning.
Instead, you need to engage your learners.
Your content is just the method in which they learn.
You should feel confident in being as creative as possible with this (within means of course).
This is where gamification and competition comes into play.
We know humans love games.
Just look at the chokehold Candy Crush had on a generation. We all wanted to be the highest level compared to our friends, which was easily viewable on Facebook.
Applying this logic to your learning might sound counterintuitive but bear with us.
Gamification allows you to make learning content engaging and fun.
Your learning content needs to teach your learners, yes. But aside from that core stipulation, you’re free to do whatever you like!
How gamification with BuildEmpire works
BuildEmpire uses Totara as a launchpad to create bespoke, reliable and engaging learning platforms.
We have taken core Totara and made it our own. So much so, that it has become it’s own Edition.
💡 Pro Tip
Learn more about the BuildEmpire Edition to see what new and exciting features you can get only with us. Plus, see what’s on our roadmap for the future.
For now, our gamification offering covers points and leaderboards.
But we’re always developing new features. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, let us know.
Assign points
With our Edition, you can assign points to:
- Your courses (when they complete them)
- Engaging in forums in Totara Engage
- Sharing resources or comments
- Logging in streaks
- Much more
Each aspect of Totara, Learn, Perform and Engage, you can assign points to actions.
This will allow your learners to collect points and be rewarded for engaging on the platform.
The aim of this is to encourage repeat visits and drive more engagement in learning content and spaces.
Create leaderboards
Since your users are earning points, it’s only right that there’s a leaderboard, right?
You can create leaderboards for courses, teams and more.
This allows your learners to pit themselves against their colleagues.
What’s the goal of this?
Simple.
Just like Candy Crush, we want to encourage our learners to earn more points by engaging more in their learning and in your platform.
Push users to aim for the top 3 for a special design shoutout.
