Deeper Learning Beyond 'Gamification'
Most gamification utilises only a fraction of the value of 'games' in a learning context. Applio CBL takes gamificaton to the next level.
The Trouble With Gamification 1.0
Quiz-based systems can be effective, but they only engage learners to a certain point, often lacking intrinsic interest in the tasks. Applio goes beyond quizzes by allowing you to create a variety of rich learning challenges. With our content editors, you can incorporate narrative, exploration, and real-world content into custom visual environments—without needing complex technical skills. And if you'd rather have someone else create the content for you, you'll still get all the benefits.
Taking game related learning to the next level
Applio allows learning challenges to cover a wider range of activities. By using narratives, your games go beyond cognitive tasks, allowing learners to explore their feelings about scenarios and how to respond. The multi-player feature adds even more possibilities, helping to address real-world goals like:
- Building norms and identities within groups.
- Providing a safe space for experienced learners to share knowledge.
- Keeping learners engaged while still reaching a large audience.
One size will never fit all
No two learners are the same, but it's important to meet everyone's needs without driving up costs.
Applio lets you create a wide range of challenges, from a 10-minute quiz to a competitive team game or a complex narrative-driven task. All of these can be combined into assignments and course units within the same system.
You can also easily adjust content to fit different audiences, increasing or decreasing complexity, and reuse or modify content for new groups.
This flexibility allows you to build more advanced content over time, making Applio suitable for learners from Level 1 Princes Trust students to post-grads and even experienced professionals like Funeral Directors!
