This document provides an overview of a gamification workshop. It includes instructions for downloading the Gametize app and accessing a workshop game. The agenda covers introducing gamification concepts like motivation frameworks and the 5D gamification framework. It demonstrates how to use the Gametize platform to create games, provides resources for game design, and warns against common gamification pitfalls. The goal is to help participants understand gamification and practice designing their own games.

8. What is gamification?
gamification =
Use of game design and game
psychology in non-game settings to
engage and motivate target audience
for target behaviors.
It is a process, and not an end point.

9. Gamification in Consumer Engagement
gamification =
A design-thinking focused process to engage
and motivate your consumers into behaviors
that directly or indirectly increase sales.
It DOES NOT need to be transactional.

10. Gamification in Learning & Employee Engagement
gamification =
A design-thinking focused process to engage
and motivate your audience into desired
behaviors, with a balance of intrinsic and
extrinsic rewards, to make learning more
enjoyable.
It MUST NOT be transactional.

25. “SORRY, I CAN’T GO
TO WORK TODAY.
I FRACTURED MY
MOTIVATION”
What motivates us?

26. Extrinsic Motivation
Behavior that is driven
by external rewards.
...such as money,
grades, and praise, or
negative reinforcement
such as fear of
punishment or failure.
money
grades
praise
deadlines

27. Intrinsic Motivation
Behavior that is driven
by internal (self-driven)
rewards.
...such as striving
towards a goal for
personal satisfaction
or accomplishment.
pride
interest
curiosity
achievement

30. Mihaly’s Flow Theory
Mihaly Csikszentmihályi
and his fellow researchers
began researching flow after
Csikszentmihályi became
fascinated by artists who
would essentially get lost in
their work.
Artists, especially painters,
got so immersed in their
work that they would
disregard their need for
food, water and even sleep.
What makes
these people so
motivated?

31. Mihaly’s Flow Theory

32. Mihaly’s Flow Theory
What motivates us?
Mihaly’s Flow Theory
• One must be involved in an activity
with a clear set of goals and
progress.
This adds direction and structure
to the task.
• The task at hand must have clear
and immediate feedback.
This helps the person negotiate any
changing demands and allows
them to adjust their performance to
maintain the flow state.
