Abstract

This feature article delves into the experiences and insights from the interdisciplinary faculty team at Miami University’s Farmer School of Business to explore the practical application of four digital gaming platforms in the context of business communication courses. Grounded in self-determination theory, this article showcases the transformative potential of digital gamification in equipping students with a heightened sense of agency (autonomy), increased confidence (competence), and a profound sense of belonging (relatedness). This article aims to serve as a valuable resource for educators seeking innovative strategies to curate learning experiences that not only impart essential business communication skills but also cultivate agentic engagement and facilitate social learning activities.
