12:45-1:15 pm - ELB Learning Demo
 
Gamify Post-Training Assessments: Score Points, Not Tests

Think back to last Wednesday. Did you drink coffee or tea? What did you wear? It’s easier to remember if Wednesday was yesterday (recent), a special occasion (meaningful), or if you wear the same outfit every day (repetitive). Training is the same way. No matter how engaged learners are, they often forget what they learned—known as the “forgetting curve.” ELB Learning’s game-authoring tool, The Training Arcade®, helps you build games that assess and minimize the impact of the forgetting curve.
During this session, you will learn:

Why engaging in short, repetitive games can help minimize the impact of the forgetting curve.
How to align the right game with your training objectives.
Understanding game metrics and how to measure effectiveness.

Speaker: Katie Kinsella, Learning Solutions Architect, ELB Learning
