Gamification for Trainers Workshop

Looking to engage your students with new facilitation techniques? Want to spruce up some stale material with gamified components? Not an instructional designer? You don’t have to be! Come to the Gamification for Trainers workshop—no instructional design experience required for participants.

Join ATD’s 2019 Trainer Showdown Winner, Matthew Smart, for a unique workshop on creating ILT learning games and gamifying in the classroom. This will not be a lecture! Trainers will participate in gamification learning activities throughout this 2 hr workshop.

At the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Implement a gamifying framework for all ILT courses.
• Apply gamification concepts to new and existing material.
• "Gamify on the fly" when your content isn’t hitting the mark.

The CoP meeting runs from 5:00 - 830 PM with the actual workshop being two (2) hours (6:00 - 8:00 PM). Bring printouts of some of your existing training content to gamify in one of the activities.
