Ozymandias - in class notes

Work better, play together? Rypple on Enterprise Gamification
This document discusses lessons learned about effectively applying gamification in the enterprise. It notes that work already involves many elements of games that are often poorly designed and can have unintended consequences. Successful gamification requires carefully designing around intrinsic motivations like meaning, autonomy, and mastery. It also requires getting experienced game designers involved and iterating slowly to amplify positive existing behaviors while minimizing negatives. Simplicity is important to avoid unintended issues from game elements in a work social context.

Shakespeare's influence is summarized nicely by Thomas Carlyle.
This King Shakespeare does he not shine, in crowned sovereignty, over us all, as the noblest, gentlest, yet strongest of rallying-signs; indestructible; really more valuable in that point of view than any other means or appliance whatsoever? We can fancy him as radiant aloft over all Nations of Englishmen, thousand years hence. From Paramatta, from New York, wheresoever, under what sort of Parish-Constable soever, English men and women are, they will say to one another, 'Yes, this Shakespeare is ours; we produced him, we speak and think by him; we are of one blood and kind with him. (Thomas Carlyle, The Hero as Poet, 1841).
