Gamification involves using game mechanics and game design techniques to engage and motivate people in non-game contexts. It can be used to encourage behaviors like learning, productivity, physical activity and more. The document provides an overview of gamification, including definitions, examples, techniques like badges and leaderboards, and how gamification can benefit areas like education. It also discusses game dynamics, player motivations and frameworks for analyzing gamified systems.
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.

Gamification is the use of game based elements such as point scoring, implementation of goals, and competition and game principals in non game contexts. It is the application of elements of video games, game thinking, and game mechanics to help solve everyday real life problems. It has emerged as a promising area of imparting education. It transforms students from passive participants to active ones. It assumes that students learn best when they are also having fun. The goal of gamification is to maximize teaching and engagement by capturing student interest and inspiring them to continue learning.

Game mechanics are one way to create an engaging experience that will result in a more focused and productive employee. But game mechanics far beyond points or badges. They are the structures and mechanics that leverage core human needs to drive behaviors along a predictable path. The key to understanding how to effectively implement game mechanics is to understanding the underlying human needs that are met by the mechanic.

GAMIFICATION IS THE PROCESS OF USING GAME THINKING AND GAME MECHANICS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND ENGAGE USERS.
We have always engaged in Gamification right from school where marks, grades, certificates and results were equivalents to points, levels, badges and leader-boards respectively.
Following on from my last set of Core Principles of Gamification, here is a new slide deck outlining what the difference between game mechanics is compared to gamification elements. It also provides the 52 gamification mechanics and elements to use in projects as well as the Periodic Table of Gamification Elements.
This presentation gives and overview of the concept of Gamification, with its pro and cons, and includes some examples of Gamified systems. Finally it introduces the concept of Blended Leaning in which Gamified resources can play a major role.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. INTRODUCTION
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
Although the term Gamification was already coined in 2002 by Nick
Pelling, the subject has only recently found its way to the marketing
world. In recent years Gamification has gained popularity in marketing as
shown by several Gamification seminars that are organized around the
world, such as the Gamification Summits in the United States and
Australia. Some relatively new some websites are dedicated to the
Gamification subject, such as Gamification.org and Gamification.co.The
E-learning platform Coursera even offers a Gamification course from the
University of Pennsylvania.

• Game elements (not full-games)
• And game thinking (This doesn’t need to involve game
technique, it’s more about the way games are designed and
the idea behind games)
• In a non-game environment (commercial as well as not-for-
profit environments)
• To increase target behaviour and engagement (target
behaviour is central to this definition)

For example
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
There’s Foldit.This is an initiative of several universities, research
institutes and companies with the goal to find cures for diseases
like HIV/aids and Cancer.To find these cures, it’s necessary to
understand the protein structures of the human body.
To understand this, the proteins are digitally folded into each
other like a puzzle. Because there are so many different possible
structures and computers aren’t good at solving these puzzles,
this is a time consuming job for scientists.
By making the folding of proteins an actual puzzle and adding
scores, leader boards and achievements, people all over the
world can now help solving this problem.This way several
enzyme structures have been found, some of which help finding
cures for diseases like HIV/aids.

13. SAPS
SAPS is an acronym that stands for status, access, power, and stuff. Simply put, it is a
system of rewards.
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
S A
SP
Status
Status is the rank or level of a player. Players are
often motivated by trying to reach a higher level or
status.
Access
Access refers to opportunities that allow players to
interact in a private or special way with your
company or service. For example, allowing select
players to view content before others, or to enter
an exclusive contest.
Power
Power refers to special entitlements or rank that
allow top players to be in positions of superiority
over others. For instance, a highly ranked player
who, based on his/her title, can donate virtual goods
to help newer players in their quests.
Stuff
Stuff means tangible prizes given to players on
completing quests or challenges. Zichermann
identified stuff as the least motivating of all four
options. Also, the cost of acquiring, managing and
delivering these prizes should be weighed carefully.
Rewards such as Badges and Points are used
to elevate Status by showcasing the talents,
expertise, and accomplishments of users.
14. MDA FRAMEWORK
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
In game design the Mechanics-Dynamics-Aesthetics (MDA) framework is a tool used to analyse games.
The MDA framework is a post-mortem analysis of the elements of a
game. It helps us use systems-thinking to describe the interplay of
those game elements and apply them outside of games.
Mechanics make up the functioning components of the
game. At their core, they allow a designer ultimate control over the
levers of the game, giving her the ability to guide player actions.
Dynamics, meanwhile, are the player’s interactions with those
mechanics. They determine what each player is doing in response to
the mechanics of the system, both individually and with other
players. Sometimes, game mechanics and game dynamics are used
interchangeably, but they are markedly different.
Finally, the aesthetics of the system are how the game
makes the player feel during interaction. Game aesthetics can be
viewed as the composite outcome of the mechanics and dynamics as
they interact with and create emotions.
15. GAME MECHANICS
The mechanics of a gamified system are made up of a series of tools that, when used
correctly, promise to yield a meaningful response from the players. For
our purposes, we’ll focus on some game elements:
Points
Points are important regardless of whether
their accumulation is shared among players, or
even between the designer and the player.
When you first consider a point system, you
might immediately think of a goal in a sporting
event, redeemable points in a video game, or
bonus points awarded to players for
successfully completing special tasks within a
game.
Point System:
Experience points
Redeemable points
Skill points
Karma points
Reputation points
Levels
In most games, levels indicate progress—
though they are not as exclusive in this role as
they once were. For example, in the arcade
game Ms. Pac-Man, levels are clearly
expressed by the colour of the ghosts, the
layout of the maze, and the kind of fruit that
loops around the maze. Of course, designers of
gamified experiences aren’t going to use
traditional levels like those found in video
games, but understanding them can add a
powerful tool to your design. Levels serve as a
marker for players to know where they stand in
a gaming experience over time.
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
16. Badges
A badge is a visual representation of some
achievement within the gamified process. For
game designers, badges are an excellent way
to encourage social promotion of their
products and services.
Leaderboard
The purpose of a leaderboard is to make simple
comparisons like ranking system.
Unsurprisingly, most people don’t need any
explanation when they encounter a leader
board. By default, we see an ordered list with a
score beside each name, and we understand
that we are looking at a ranking system.
LeaderboardTypes:
1. The no-disincentive leaderboard
2. The infinite leaderboard
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
GAME MECHANICS…
17. Engagement loops
A motivating emotion leads to player re-engagement,
which leads to a social call to action, which loops back
around to a motivating emotion.
challenges/quests
Challenges and quests give players direction for what
to do within the world of the gamified experience.
Also known as Challenges. Challenges usually implies
a time limit or competition whereas Quests are
meant to be a journey of obstacles a player must
overcome.
In World of Warcraft, players are given quests that
require them to complete a set of tasks (e.g monster
slaying, delivery).

For novice player ofTwitter, the view of the
engagement loop is as follows:
- Motivating Emotion =Connecting and expressing
- Player Re-Engagement = @mentions
- Social call to action =Tweets
- Visible Progress/Reward = Followers

GAMIFICATION IN E-LEARNING
23. GAMIFICATION: CASE STUDIES
More and more companies realise that games can be very powerful in changing human behaviour.
Therefore it’s not surprising that companies like Foursquare, LinkedIn and Amazon.com incorporate
game elements on their websites and in their services.
https://foursquare.com/
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
To Foursquare it’s important that users share their location with their friends on a
regular basis. When users do that, value is being created for everyone in their social
network.Without that the platform – obviously – doesn’t have a lot of value to users.
By having people earn badges when they check-in on special places or with a
certain frequency, users are motivated to keep using Foursquare on a regular basis. The
battle for mayorship in offices, bars and parks adds a competitive and social element that
makes the behaviour stick.

26. LINKEDIN
A Brief IntroductionTo Gamification www.redblood.ws
LinkedIn makes money by selling advertisements. Their ad inventory can be sold for a higher price when the ability to target
these advertisements improves. If an ad exactly reaches the people that are in the advertisers’ target audience – and no one
else – it’s worth a lot more than when it has a lot of waste. This makes it important for LinkedIn to know their users very well,
and one way to get to know them is for users to fill in their profiles extensively.
By acknowledging users with ‘strong profiles’ as Experts or All-Stars, people will be motivated to update their profiles regularly
and fill out any information that’s missing. Another neat trick is the way the profile strength balloon works: It can never be fully
filled.There’s always room for improvement.
