Gamification for Learning: Engaging Students, Enhancing Education

Would you like to see your students more engaged, motivated, and invested in their learning journey? Gamification is a research-backed approach that uses game mechanics to enhance educational experiences—creating more immersive, participatory, and impactful learning environments.

 

Led by Rob Alvarez and Bernardo Letayf, this entry-intermediate level training uses the three practical steps to gamify learning. Drawing on almost 400 expert insights and extensive experience as a consultant, coach and at IE Business School and other leading institutions, this workshop offers tangible strategies you can apply immediately.

Target group

This online workshop is ideal for:

  • Business school faculty and academic leaders looking for innovative teaching strategies
  • Learning experience designers and program developers aiming to create more engaging curricula
  • Higher education administrators exploring new ways to increase student motivation and retention

Learning objectives

Workshop Format

  • Six live online sessions with expert guidance and interactive exercises
  • Asynchronous project work, enabling real-world application
  • Peer collaboration & expert feedback to refine your prototype
  • An expert look into future trends in gamification, including AI!

By the end of this training, you will have a gamified prototype ready to be tested in your institution.
