I want to build a game about my learning topics. But I don’t want to do this with quizzes. I planned branching scenario method (like adventure games) and I want to use gamification tools (Choosing character, Process bar, points, badges vs.) for every stage of my game. What steps should I do?
Thanks for help. I’m trying new things for my skills. I’m already know differences of games and gamification. But need to know how I’m apply badges, progress, leaderboard in my projects. I love your blog page. It’s awesome. Thank you.
Thanks for your nice comment.
As I tried to tell in my first comment: badges and leaderboard is typical something you would set up in a Learning management system like Captivate Prime, not inside of Captivate tutorials. You cannot compare results of multiple learners in one project, which is necessary for a leader board. Since one tutorials is rather limited in scope, even if it has multiple chapters, the use of badges is in most cases better linked to success in multiple tutorials. Of course you can have a progress bar in one tutorial or in a quiz included in a tutorial. You can find examples in my blog which you already visited apparently.
Which topics? Will you report to a LMS? How are your skills with Captivate (and eventually Captivate Prime as LMS)? You mention both gamification and games, you are probably aware of the difference? Prime LMS has a lot of gamification elements (badges, progress, leaderboard). With Captivate you can create games, branched scenarios etc..You need a good plan once you have decided the tools you’ll use.
Here and on my blog I have posted several games, some with explanations of the step-by-step workflow. Some of those games can for sure be used for educational purposes: I think about languages, science, maths etc.
