This document discusses key concepts of gamification including what gamification is and is not. It outlines Richard Bartle's user types and the components, mechanics, and dynamics of gamification. Components include rankings, collections, missions, and rewards. Mechanics involve collaboration, competition, and challenges. Dynamics center around achievement, competition, and narrative. The document provides examples of how to plan a gamification strategy and 10 things to avoid, such as focusing only on points or rewards without social elements or storytelling.

15. Think in a boardgame…
 Which components does it use? Tokens, dices, cards, board,
pencil and paper, hourglass
 What is its purpose (mechanics)? add points, reach
achievements, overcome levels, dialogue, recollect items,
achieve missions,
 What is its final purpose (dynamics) collaborate, compete,
coordinate, socialize, debate, argue, reflect

16. Plan a gamification strategy…
 Goal: what do you pretend to achieve?
 Story/context: narration (storytelling) to introduce the
game.
 Mechanics: select the appropriate mechanics for your
case
 Components: choose the components and their
meaning/role in the activity
 Explanation: What is the purpose of the activities? What
students have to do to pass it? Think about a board game

19. 10 things to avoid…

20. 1. Think in gamification as a game

21. 2. Focus efforts in point systems

22. 3. Use rewards as main incentive

23. 4. Forget the social factor

24. 5. Mandatory participation

25. 6. Not give automony to players

26. 7. Not tell a story

27. 8. Unknowledge of player motivation

28. 9. Unbalanced and routinary system

29. 10. Not be funny

30. 10. Not be interesting
