ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
This session provides an overview of the theory behind game-based learning. We'll discuss what you need to know in order to develop an effective game-based learning strategy at your credit union.

This webinar will focus on two specific game development stories to provide insights that are as applicable for credit unions as they are for other organizations. Using these two case studies as a guide, you'll explore a number of factors contributing to successful strategy, development, and deployment of game-based learning. This session will also help you formulate your plan for building leadership support for game development and deployment within your credit union.

After this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Name five ways credit unions can use casual online games in training
• List at least 10 game techniques that need to go into the design
• Explain how and why online games create buzz among credit union learners

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This webinar is beneficial for your credit union's human resource or training departments.
