GOING BEYOND BADGES

GAMIFICATION – TIS perspective

“We are moving from an economy and a society built on the logical, linear, computer-like capabilities of the Information Age to an economy and a society built on the inventive, empathic, big-picture capabilities of what’s rising in its place, the Conceptual Age.”

Daniel H. Pink,

A Whole New Mind:

Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future

Is gamification about Points, BADGES AND LEADERBOARD?

BRIDGING THE GAP

Play based learning is a great option to learn future skills, as it combines creative problem solving, sense making, data interpretation and accuracy.

It will help you move learning from push/pull knowledge transfer to an immersive and social experience.

CONNECT TO SKILLS

CONNECT TO PERFORMANCE IN A CALL CENTRE

We design our learning games with

business rules right at the core of the

activities.

On top of this layer are the game

rules that govern the game, players’

actions,

the game’s reaction, and the

final outcome.

The game mechanics, or the specific

controls, that players use to interact

with the game, and together with the

visual game skin they complete the

whole sensory experience for the

player.
