The document discusses how games and gamification can be used in education in the future. It provides examples of how gamification can motivate students and make the learning experience more interactive and engaging by applying game mechanics and techniques. The document also discusses how analytics and data collection can allow for personalization and improving the learning experience when gamification is implemented effectively.

Gamification
The mechanisms we employ
• Leaderboards
• Badging
• Scores
• Progress
markers
• Surprises
(easter
eggs)
• Avatars
• Rules
• Limits

9. Gamification 09
Done well is a positive, non-trivial, engagement strategy
Data
Collection
Gamification provides a
context for data collection
about the behaviours of
the learner
Analytics
Analysis of the data allows us to
represent the data in ways that
is more meaningful to both the
teacher and the learner
Personalisation
The ecosystem allows us to
offer a personalised learning
experience.
More effective and
more efficient learning

10. Analytics
Leveraging the data of learning behaviours
