Five things to consider when building games to optimize learning

Use a Variety of Question Types

Each question format plays an important role in exposing knowledge gaps and creating those valuable AHA! teachable moments. Depending on which game you choose, you have several different question formats at your disposal:

  • Multiple Choice

  • Slide

  • Fill-in-the-Blank

  • List

  • Sequence

  • Open-Ended

  • Image Map

  • True/False

  • Select All That Apply

  • Poll

Use Fill-in-the-Blank Questions

So let's go beyond the typical multiple-choice format and explore two examples of our favorite, more engaging question types. We'll dive deep into each one and share effective strategies for incorporating them into your games.

Use Preview & Summary Slides

Another thing to consider is using Preview Slides that hook the audience from the start, giving you to ability to use a mix of text, video, and photos. This will help "set the stage" for your question and get people excited to dive in.

Including a Summary Slide after the question will help reinforce what they’ve just learned or expand on concepts presented in the question.

Activate Points or Leaderboards

Fill-in-the-Blank style questions can bring the “fast” and the “fun” to knowledge retention by challenging learners to recall specific information, which reinforces memory and understanding of key concepts.

The left side displays team icons for Red, Blue, Green, and Orange, each with a score of zero. The bottom shows a link, a game ID, and navigation buttons.

Use Open-Ended Questions

Open-Ended questions allow for critical thinking and encourages learners to express their understanding in their own words. This can illuminate misconceptions and foster deeper discussions.

Something else to consider is activating game features like team points and leader boards can tap into people's innate desire to achieve, compete, and win.

The more you can engage your audience and get them interacting with your content, the more "aha!" moments they'll experience.

By mixing up your delivery with these engaging tactics, you'll hold your attendees' interest, make your presentation more dynamic, and leave them with plenty to think about long after they leave the room.
