Innhold

In the second session of our Gamification Seminar from KVAK project, we dive deeper into the core mechanics and dynamics that make games so engaging — and how we can apply them to learning experiences.
﻿
Participants will explore the building blocks of gamification, from points and badges to quests, levels, and leaderboards, and learn how these elements shape motivation and behavior. We’ll also look at how to align these mechanics with learning objectives to ensure that gamified experiences support both fun and educational value.
﻿
Contents:
Understanding game basics
