Gamify Learning with Skill Trees
Presentation description
What if you could instantly see your skill progress and skill gaps using video game inspired skill trees? This talk explores this concept with the Skill Trees Project, a repository of open access printable skill tree templates. Just print them out and colour them in to track your progress and get inspired to try new things.
Hear about how the repository has grown from a few templates to 70+ skill areas covered, including translations, posters and now the Skill Seeker book series. Learn how skill trees might benefit you, and hear about the future expansion plans for this project and how to contribute.
