Lately, I'm sure you've noticed there's been no shortage of buzz about employee motivation -- particularly when it comes to the benefits of employee engagement and it's effectiveness in motivating .

It's a common phrase to say "learn by playing." Different communication theories confirm this. Games make us produce dopamine, a brain chemical that increases learning and stimulates our state of attention. eLearning experts believe that games and playing need to be part of a course for adults to learn effectively.

That means a whole lot of wasted time. What a bummer. Specially, how many times, have students taken courses or training they end up believing is irrelevant and meaningless. Well, take that experience and NEVER apply it in the eLearning projects you develop.
