HARRISBURG, Pa. - Nov. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- The community is invited to enjoy a free presentation on Gamification for Business, Training, and Education from award-winning educator Andy Petroski, Director of Learning Technologies Master of Science program at Harrisburg University.

Gamification is the concept of applying game techniques to non-game environments. In the past few years, gamification tactics have expanded upon early customer loyalty programs and have applied techniques from games such as story, levels, competition, leaderboards, and challenges to increase customer and employee engagement. Beyond marketing, gamification is being used to motivate learners in education, impact behavior change in healthcare, and motivate actions and performance in business. Attend this session for an introduction to gamification and to see some examples of gamification in action. Stay to discover our affordable full-time, part-time and online master’s degree options.
