Gamify your LMS

Welcome to this deeper insight into our Gamification Europe Legendary Sponsor "Growth Engineering". We'll look at their approach to developing a gamified Learning Management System (LMS). You'll soon appreciate the depth of resources they've made available too. But let's start by setting the scene with this interview with one of their happy clients:

And it doesn't help if the learning is dull.
In fact it's a lot worse.

This is where Growth Engineering is strongest as a company as their use of gamification can turn all your learners into active participants of your LMS.
You can make all your learners, learning lovers!
More engaged learners = a good thing!
