8 Unconventional Rewards For Your Gamified Online Learning

Spread the love

Your job when creating an online training course is to find the most effective way to both engage corporate learners and produce the desired outcomes your company needs. The advent of gamified online learning courses provides a fantastic methodology of doing just that. 

However, gamification requires something to play for. In order to get corporate learners to play in such a way that benefits the business, it behooves gamified online training creators to think of different ways to reward players for their engagement and results. With that being said, here are 8 rewards you can provide to your base of corporate learners to keep them coming back for more.

1) Give Them The Opportunity To Host A Live Training Event

If your corporate learners are serious about their jobs and their potential for advancement within the company, the opportunity to host a live online training event could prove plenty enticing. It’s the type of reward that is easy to provide and can prove benefit to the employee’s career when being considered for future promotions.

2) A Unique Certificate Of Achievement

There’s a reason why achievement certificates are so prevalent in corporate workspaces – they work. Creating a unique, aesthetically-pleasing certificate of achievement for top achievers can both build morale and stimulate their internal desire to achieve.

3) Badges For The Best Of The Best

The online equivalent of a certificate of achievement means unique badges work! It will definitely get employees talking and sharing their achievements with one another. This kind of communal collector’s spirit could boost both morale and overall training module efficacy.

4) Let Them Take The Content Reins For A Day

This is a reward that allows a corporate learner to build their internal company resume while giving them the ability to be an integral part of the training process. This will let your top learners know that their achievements are important and have tangible weight and effects.

5) Access To A Special Online Training Library

If your corporate learners are as invested as they should be in their career trajectories, giving them access to a special cache of online training modules and games is a fantastic reward. It gives them an edge over those who may be competing for the same jobs.

6) A Mention In The Company Newsletter

We all love recognition. This is one of the oldest rewards in the corporate playbook, but that’s because it works! Giving your top learners public recognition within the company will boost their morale and push others to meet them at their level.

7) Give Them A One-On-One Training Session

What better way for an employee to widen their knowledge base and boost their career prospects than to have a one-on-one training session with an expert who has an invaluable perspective? This is another potential boost for an employee’s future job prospects.

8) Preview Of Upcoming Online Training Content

Boost your employees’ feelings of importance by giving them a sneak peek of upcoming training content. You can use their feedback to make final tweaks before the official launch and give them a sense of being ahead of the corporate learning curve.

Conclusion

Rewards don’t have to mean money or discounts. There are plenty of ways to show your employees that you care and that will get them excited.

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
