Loading...

Engagement: A Critical Element in Learning and Gamification,” a recent post from gamification and simulations thought leader Karl Kapp highlights four modes of interactivity (or levels of engagement) that may occur within an interactive system such as a learning game. 

  • Mode 1: Cognitive interactivity or interpretative participation.

  • Mode 2: Functional interactivity; or utilitarian participation. 

  • Mode 3: Explicit interactivity or participation with designed choices and procedures. 

  • Mode 4: Beyond-the-object-interactivity; or participation within the culture of the object.  

Read the complete post on Kapp Notes to learn details for each mode.
