A research-based presentation on the gamification of learning prepared for EDDE 803 (Athabasca University EdD Program). Cohort 7. The presentation has some elements of audience interaction (hence little text). Not sure what the provenance of the graphic is for Bartle's player types.

15. Gamification...defined?
“the use of game mechanics and experience design to digitally
engage and motivate people to achieve their goals”
(Burke, 2014, p. 6).

16. Non-game contexts
Nike+
GoWalla
(ca. 2010)

17. Gamification meets Instructional Design

18. Structural Gamification
Gamification as a wrapper to current
Using game elements to engage learners
If your current content is boring… you still have a problem
Some Tips:
Yes to smaller goals, building up to a bigger goal
Opt-in status mechanisms
Use tracking mechanisms

19. Content Gamification
Modifying existing content to be more game-like
Using game lingo and developing a magic circle
No need to create an entire game
Some mechanics to keep in mind:
Stories
Challenges
Curiosity
