About Richfield
Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology has been in operation for over 30 years and has 33 accredited Higher Education sites, and 22 accredited programmes. In the history of the institution, over 300,000 students have completed a range of programmes in this 30 year period. The institution has since grown to be one of the largest Private Education providers in South Africa and has established branches in the various provinces.
In a pursuit to create a culture of student-centeredness in 2012, Richfield acquired 100 000 Tablet PCs to the amount of R118 million and made these available for free to students registering for Higher and Further Education qualifications. The PCs had most of their learning resources downloaded onto the devices making the learning journey comfortable, connected and convenient for their students.
The Situation
Special Ingredient
Young people are typically difficult to engage in serious applications like education opportunities. This is why we offered members a gamified experience. Gamified experiences highlight candidates who are goal-oriented, who are driven by a high sense of power and who are motivated by membership and belonging.
The gamified experience was through a Microsoft Digital Literacy Course for anyone with basic reading skills to learn the fundamentals of using digital technologies. The challenge also signals to Richfield which candidates would be able to succeed in remote learning.
The quality of qualified candidates received by Richfield in this instance then signals a profile of talented and hardworking students. This then increases the likelihood that these candidates will succeed in the institution, making them worthy candidates for Richfield’s higher graded qualifications.
