Discover how we helped VDAB and their partner Constructiv supplement a theoretical PDF with a simulation game, in which construction workers play their way to a better practical insight into making quotes.
Constructiv supports construction workers with social benefits, advice on well-being and training.
After launching their new manual on costing wood, together with the VDAB, they saw an opportunity to take theory learning to a higher level.
Create a stimulating new way of learning that is complementary to the theoretical manual.
Combine basic theory with real-life examples so that players know how to apply new knowledge to their daily work by the end of the game.
Make the theory understandable to a broad target group, from employees and self-employed people to job seekers, students and secondary school students.
Determining the form of learning
A Serious Game with simulation turned out to be the best fit for the learning goals of VDAB and Constructiv.
Players are more likely to experiment with alternative behaviors and immediately experience the consequences of their decisions during a game, making them more aware of their actions in reality.
In addition, a Serious Game appeals to a wide audience, which is exactly what VDAB and Constructiv had in mind.
Integrating learning content
Theory found a new form in an activating Serious Game. This also made every minute of 'playing' a minute of growth and learning.
By introducing the basic theory through multiple cases, the target group learns to practice new skills that they can immediately apply to their work.
Measuring progress
We created a personalized interface so players can see their progress right away. They receive immediate feedback about their choices, which promotes the learning process.
