Game-based learning is an educational approach that uses game elements and mechanics to engage learners and facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills. This method involves incorporating interactive and challenging game elements into the learning process to enhance engagement, motivation, and retention.

Example

A training program for sales representatives incorporates a game-based learning module where learners simulate sales scenarios, make decisions, and receive immediate feedback based on their choices. The game element enhances their understanding of sales techniques and improves their ability to apply them in real-world situations.
