This document provides an overview of gamification and how it can be used in education. It defines gamification as using game mechanics and principles to engage students and make learning fun. Examples of game elements that can be used include badges, levels, achievements and points to reward students for their successes. Research shows that gamification improves student achievement and allows students to take more risks. The document then discusses various game frameworks and elements that can be implemented, as well as examples of existing educational games and apps that can be utilized, such as ClassDojo, Kahoot and Brainscape. It concludes with tips on how to design gamified lessons and apply game dynamics to classroom instruction.
The gaming industry is huge, and it can keep its audience consumed for hours, days and even weeks. Presentation shows how it all started, some best and worst practices and main principles of gamification.

I talked about gamification and it's usage in education and training for 2 hours in Tabatabayi University of Tehran. I'll try to prepare a small workshop in this subject.
We presented this deck at the ESOMAR Congress 2011 conference in Amsterdam where it was nominated for "Best Methodological Paper".
The meat of this deck is a collection of case studies showing the efficacy of gamification in various BUSINESS contexts. It took us ages to contact and collate these various examples, so hopefully having them all in one place will save you time.
A big thank you very much to the various folks who helped us put this piece of research together!
If you have any questions, comments, requests, or are interested in the original paper that this deck is based on, please feel free to drop us a line :)

Organisations continue to search for the silver bullet that will deliver improved employee and customer engagement, facilitate more effective collaboration and drive innovation. Is "gamification" the answer, or is it just one more over-hyped and fashionable trend that promises much but delivers little? Gamification has indeed bubbled to the top of the Gartner hype cycle, but there is growing evidence that it is an effective business improvement change agent, with industry growth rates predicted to be 67% p.a. and a market worth £3.4 billion by 2018.
Gamification is about much more than simply rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviours companies want to encourage among their employees and customers. Gamification is founded in the fundamentals of human psychology and behavioural science, and rests on three primary factors: motivation, ability level and triggers.
This session looks at some of the gamification strategies and techniques being used to influence behaviour change, and how these techniques can be used to facilitate more effective collaboration and employee/customer engagement.
During the past year, there has been much discussion about learning gamification and game- based learning. Is all of the hoopla just a passing fancy, or is there substance to games as a learning strategy?
In this session, Dr. Karl Kapp and Bryan Austin will summarize the research supporting learning games. They will differentiate between learning gamification and game-based learning, share the rationale for leveraging games to increase engagement, and provide the business rationale used by organizations to implement game-based corporate learning. Finally, this session will outline research under way to benchmark the performance impact of game-based e-learning versus other modes of training.
At the end of this session, attendees will have a clear idea of where learning games fit in their training strategy and their potential value in improving workforce performance.
Learning objectives
Evaluate training techniques, i.e. game-based learning.
Develop, select and implement employee training programs to increase individual and organizational effectiveness.
Evaluate the effectiveness of employee training programs through the use of metrics.
Develop and utilize business metrics to measure the achievement of the organization’s strategic and performance goals and objectives.
Develop qualitative and quantitative methods and tools for analysis, interpretation and decision-making purposes.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Who is this describing?
• This group “regularly exhibits persistence, risk-taking, attention to detail, and
problem-solving…”
• Full quote: “Game players regularly exhibit persistence, risk-taking, attention
to detail, and problem-solving, all behaviors that ideally would be regularly
demonstrated in school.” – The Education Arcade at MIT
4. Things to consider
• 28 million people harvest their crops on Farmville every day.
• Over 5 million people play an average of 45 hours a week of games

games.
• In the US, 9 out of 10 kids play electronic games.
• On-line gaming market is worth more than $15 billion
• 58% male; 42% female

5. What is gamification?
• The process of using game thinking
and game mechanics to engage
• Use of gaming principles in the field of
education in order to get students
students involved, engaged, and
excited about learning
• Introduces concepts like badges,
levels, achievements, and game points
• Students are rewarded with these
concepts when they succeed, but are
not penalized when they don’t.
• students are not afraid to step outside of
their comfort zone and fail
• Gabe Zichermann video
6. Why Gamification?
• “Game design is the art of enjoying the hard part. It’s the art of making goals
more difficult to achieve, for no good reason, other than the fact that we have
more fun that way” – JM
• “Studies showed that, on average, using academic games in the classroom is
associated with a 20 percentile point gain in student achievement.
• “Helping students navigate and fully participate in this new media landscape,
however, requires more than simply allowing mobile devices into schools.
Instead, it requires developing learning experiences that allow students to use
and develop the multi-literacy practices associated with mobile media.”
7. How is the brain affected by
gamification?
• “When an animal, be it fish or human, wins
a contest, there is a large release of
testosterone and dopamine into their
brain. Over time this changes their brains
structure and chemical makeup, making
them smarter, more confident and able to
take on larger challenges than
before. Cognitive neuroscientist Ian
Robertson explains that “success and
failure shapes us more powerfully than
powerfully than genetics and drugs.”
drugs.” Nurture changes nature.”
