Page 10: Gamify your e learning! 6 Ways to Incorporate Gamification into eLearning

Definition

The concept of using game

design elements, game

mechanics and game

thinking in non-game

contexts to make learning

more compelling.

Gamification appeals to our need for social connection,

learning, mastery, competition achievement and status.

Learning Games vs Gamification?

Page 13: Gamify your e learning! 6 Ways to Incorporate Gamification into eLearning

How Are They Different?

Gamification - Turns the entire

learning process into a game.

Learning games - Use games as

part of the learning process; the

game relates directly to a

learning objective.

Both aim to achieve the same goal – to engage and

motivate learners however…

More About The Differences

Source: http://www. gamification.org/education

Games GamificationGames have defined rules &

objectives.

May just be a collection of tasks with points or some

form of reward.

There is a possibility of losing. Losing may or may not be possible because the

point is to motivate people to take some action and

do something.

Sometimes just playing the game is

intrinsically rewarding.

Being intrinsically rewarding is optional.

Games can be hard and expensive to

build.

Gamification is usually easier and cheaper.

Content is usually morphed to fit the

story and scenes of the game.

Usually game like features are added without

making too many changes to your content.

Karl Kapp’s Words…

“Gamification is much more than

just adding rewards, points, and

badges to processes to motivate

people – it’s the instructional

method, and not just the delivery

system, that provides the elements

for learning in a game situation.”

A Few Last Thoughts…

“When you get right down to it, the goals of both Gamification and learning games are relatively the same. Serious games and gamification are both trying to solve a problem, motivate, and promote learning using game-based thinking and techniques.”
