LXD through Gamification has following advantages:


First, proactivity. Within gamified content, every trainee must make their own decisions for their next action in each phase. This of course initiates in-depth cognitive immersion and problem solving, and the data driven from this process and result act as excellent stimuli for meta-cognition, reflection and discussion.


Second, immersion. Unlike traditional training, Gamification content maximizes training effect through the trainees’ proactive participation and immersion. The “fun” aspect inherent in every game, which lets the participants to even feel like the time flies by, even tends to create a positive organizational dynamic change. In comparison, the common lecture-style training feels relatively boring as a result.


Third, diversity. Gamification content which is created based on the core game principle of “Diversity” always yields different processes and results – which enables the trainees to witness diverse creative cases and also simultaneously learn from their mistakes. This is because it is a fictional simulation, where one can always try again and keep practicing.


Based on these advantages, we must now evolve learning experience to a virtuous cycle: trainee characteristic-based intrinsic motivation increase, natural maximization of proactive participation, and interaction between trainees and reflection that leads to a real learning-by-doing experience. We are standing now at a crossroads, where education must also be upgraded to the next level. We firmly believe that gamification theory will play a significant role on this route to our next evolution.
