  July Learning Lab

  The Gamification of Learning:

  A Certification for Talent Development and HR Professionals 

  
  

  This program is like no virtual conference or Zoom workshop you ’ve attended. The Sententia Gamification Certification is a complete immersion experience that leaves you creatively inspired and technically masterful. 

  This hands-on certification takes you through the 5-step, trademarked, and proven process of gamifiying your organizational quest. The goal is to increase learning and engagement through key concepts found in game design and behavioral psychology. Adding game mechanics to training, gamification not only increases interest, but it also increasing engagement and creates behavioral change by making learning and development "fun."

  Gamification is not just about rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviors which companies want to encourage among their employees and customers.

  Is now a good time to put an end to dry, boring learning? Get ready to play full out during our Gamification adventure!

  In this 8-hour certification program (attended over two 4-hour sessions), you will use a L&D case study as you overlay the 5-step Game the System™ model for gamification learning design, gather data, and participate in problem-solving and assessment exercises.

  This is the ONLY Gamification Certification that earns you recertification* credits with HRCI, SHRM, and ATD.

  Takeaways for Participants:

  1. Game the System™ “game board” of the 30 necessary steps for creating successfully gamified learning programs

  2. All handouts and ancillary tools

  3. Analysis and feedback of a proposal for gamifying a case study or real program

  4. Sententia Level 1 Surveyor digital badge with metadata about the program and work completed for employers, recruiters, and potential clients

  5. HRCI, SHRM and ATD recertification credit documentation for each registrant

  ATD-GTC Coffee Talk 

  Trainers Intuition: What it is and How Do I Develop it? 

  In this session, we'll start to make conscious that mystical part of us that we use daily without even realizing it: our intuition. We'll discuss the various ways we gain information from our intuition and how it helps us as trainers in the classroom (both live and online!). We'll practice techniques for identifying intuitive information and developing our intuitive skills.  

  Learning Objectives:

  • Define "intuition" and discuss its benefits in training
  • Identify the most common ways people experience intuition
  • Practice techniques for tapping into your intuition
  • Understand how learning about intuition can help  leaders in terms of how they set vision, lead, and guide their teams
