How do you feel about gamification?
How do your stakeholders feel about gamification?
Why?
• Is it adult enough?
• Is playing really the same as learning?
• Aren’t some subjects too serious for games?
• Isn’t it really expensive?
• Doesn’t it take ages to build?
• Does it get results?
Does knowledge retention worry you?
