What makes learning worth playing?

A professional learning journey into gamification, game-based e-learning and immersive learning.

APPROACH

ADDIE & reflective inquiry

ADDIE keeps the learning need, activity design and evaluation connected, rather than selecting technology first.

MEdUniversity of Bolton · Merit
01 / THE CHALLENGE

Explore how game-based e-learning can support meaningful participation and learning.

Master of Education – Learning Technologies & Gamification, University of Bolton, completed in 2024.

02 / THE APPROACH

Understand. Build. Refine.

  1. 01

    Connected theory to practical learning interventions.

  2. 02

    Explored game-based learning and immersive pilots.

  3. 03

    Used reflection to examine the relationship between engagement and learning design.

03 / THE EVIDENCE

What changed.

Completed the MEd with Merit. The professional application is an evidence-informed approach to selecting, piloting and reflecting on technology.

04 / REFLECTION

What I would carry forward.

An engaging activity is not automatically an effective learning intervention. Context and evaluation matter.

What I’d test next

Extend the approach into workplace learning and evaluate transfer to everyday practice.

Beyond education

A foundation for learning design, technology evaluation and evidence-informed innovation.
