Cafes, restaurants and car washes all use points and rewards to drive behaviors. Can we do the same with our Learning Management Systems?

In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Incentli's Jeff Campbell speaks to Ross G and Ross D about:

  • how digital currencies give LMS administrators levers they can pull to drive behavior
  • the role of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on learning
  • the impact of branded swag on learner advocacy

In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D discussed GitHub commits (super fun to bet on!)
