The effect of digital badging on workplace self-directed e-learning

• In Event: RTD- The effect of digital badging on workplace self-directed e-learning

Short Description

Empirical research on the efficacy of gamified extrinsic rewards such as digital badges remains scant. This session describes an investigation into the effect of digital badges on the motivational constructs of learning achievement, retention, persistence, and self-regulation in a corporate self-directed e-learning (SDEL) environment. This study contributed to research on the impact of digital badge use on motivation for learning among adult self-directed e-learners.
