Gamelearn is a company that creates graphic adventure video games played to learn soft skills.
Gamelearn uses game-based learning and gamification techniques to build training courses.[1] It licenses its games to corporations and organizations for play by their employees.[2]
Its first game, Merchants, is played to learn to negotiate and its second game, Triskelion, is played to learn time management. Merchants and Triskelion are course-length games and each takes over ten hours non-continuous time to play. [3]
History
Founded in 2008, Gamelearn was derived from a conventional classroom-based training company. Ibrahim Jabary is Gamelearn's co-founder and creator of its first two games.[4][5]
At present, Gamelearn has over 300 corporate, governmental and not-for-profit clients.[6] Clients are located throughout the world.[7][8]
Methodology
The methodology used to develop its courses is called "g-learning" or "game-learning" and comprises three fundamental components:
- The content of a complete course
- An online simulator, requiring the skill being learned be practiced
- A video game
