What did we find?
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
• “The gamification is good for students in order to complete while understanding their
academic work.”
• “I really like the way the course/gamification has helped me develop self-confidence
especially seeing my work rewarded (badges).”
• “The game kept us competitive and motivated to give a little bit more to ensure we can
do well in the game.”
• “I wish at least 50% of IST Honours modules can switch to gamification – its awesome.”
• “Having points was helpful with realising progress but displaying these points on a
leaderboard should not be shown.”
• “The gamification was great, although for some activities, I did not understand how I
missed some of the badges.”
• “Sometimes the deadlines were tight, especially given our commitments in other
courses.“
• “I think the points and the badge allocation should be made clear as to what exactly
is expected before-hand.”

When gamifying…
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Consider your students – What drives them? What are their goals?
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Link rewards to learning objectives to ensure relevance.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Onboarding to introduce students to the game is crucial for success.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Be prepared to give students autonomy and control.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Students will work and earn collaboratively in a well-designed gamified course.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Near real-time feedback is what students will demand.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Students demand transparency in how they are scored – they will ask.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Visual responses are always preferred by students.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Some students will “fall-off” whilst others “fall through” – be ready to adapt the game to lend a hand
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Gamification demands a massive time-commitment but is rewarding for everyone.
www.gamified.co.za | @gamifiedZA
Start small and grow from there.
