Gamification: One of the features to love about IsEazy

IsEazy’s approach to gamification is by way of knowledge check games. An instructional designer can use these as engaging ways to elicit practice through repetition.

Instead, a gamified or microgame experience can be a much better experience as the game gives the user constant feedback of their progress.

Book Review: Evidence-Informed Learning Design

This book review is on Evidence-Informed Learning Design: Creating training to improve performance by Mirjam Neelen and Paul A Kirschner (2020) and according to the authors, its purpose is “to help learning professionals at any stage in their careers to focus on the right things, so that they can build a strong knowledge foundation, based on scientific evidence…”.
