    "Today's schools face major problems around student motivation and engagement. Gamification, or the  incorporation of game elements into non-game settings, provides an opportunity to help schools solve these  difficult problems. However, if gamification is to be of use to schools, we must better understand what  gamification is, how it functions, and why it might be useful. This article addresses all three questions - what,  how, and why bother? - while exploring both the potential benefits and pitfalls of gamification."

  • Only last year, the US-based analysts Gartner predicted that 70% of the world's top 2000 companies will be using gamification in some form by 2014.
  • By 2014, it predicts that 80% of gamification applications will fail to deliver “because of poor design”.

      Just because Gartner said businesses were going to use gamification doesn't automatically mean that it would be effective.

    "Thus, in this paper we investigate "gamification" and the  historical origins of the term in relation to precursors and similar concepts. It is suggested that "gamified" applications provide insight into novel, gameful phenomena complementary to playful phenomena. Based on our research, we propose a definition of "gamification" as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts.

    This article discusses Theorycraft and why it has undermined the joy and purpose of the MMO. I found an interesting correlation to how this situation can be applied to using games/gamification in the classroom improperly.

    Gamification. Marketers love it, game developers love to hate it. I hardly know what to make of it. At its most basic definition, it is the application of game-play mechanics in nongame settings. It is increasingly used by marketers to sell more products and encourage desired consumer behaviors.
