Gamification and Gamified Learning

Gamify your Approach to improve student experience

Gamification is becoming a buzz-word. The expansion of digital learning has enabled mobile technology to introduce gamified tools to improve users engagement and knowledge acquisition. This is key approach used by many language learning apps.

At Edumundo, we've been gamifying the learning experience for students for nearly twenty years. Our business simulation games and, more recently, our student engagement App, HE College Coins continue to be used to encourage experiential learning and improve student engagement.

When games are used in the right way, they trigger intrinsic motivation which results in:

Higher levels of student engagement

Increased experiential and student-led learning

Higher student module satisfaction

Increased students' grades (see GCU Case Study)

Improved academic and employability skills

Better attendance rates and higher student retention

Business Simulation Games

We have business and management simulation games for subjects such as: Management, Tourism and Hospitality, International Business, Strategy, Finance, and Marketing.

Our business simulation games cover foundation, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels. They are suitable for taught modules, Open Days, Induction and Welcome Weeks, as well as employability skills workshops.

Client Testimonial - Business Simulation Games at Glasgow Caledonian University

“I see Edumundo as partners of the learning service rather than a supplier. Service has always been prompt, helpful and courteous. Staff have advised us based on the modules we run and the type of students enrolled.”

Dr. Keith Halcro, Senior Lecturer in Management, Glasgow Caledonian University

HE College coins

Improving student engagement and motivation throughout the applicant-to-student journey will enable your students to thrive during their studies.

That's why effective student induction is more than just a one week activity: it's part of a wider onboarding process.

Based on our own student onboarding model, we've developed a mobile/tablet application, HE College Coins to incentivise students to learn new skills and make valuable connections throughout the application, induction, and course study phases.
