What is a game (with internal motivation)? A game has rules A game has challenging goals A game has alternative outcomes (vs. a story) Players´activities influence the outcome (vs. chance) Players have freedom to act to influence the outcomes A game has interaction between the players and the environment Success is being measured and compared Players are given feedback of their success In a game your skills evolve and you advance (motivation) Game challenge and player competencies are in balance A game has winners (and losers) (individuals or teams) A successfull game player is rewarded (with prestige at least)


Actually, gaming looks like a well managed job

Gamification

Applying game mechanics outside games in order to motivate and involve people

Game-like activity motivates and directs acitivities What you measure is what you get What you give feedback on is what you get a lot What you reward, you may get too much

Boring stuff does not miraculously become fun by gamification May require reorganisation and redefinition of tasks to be gamified

Gamification over Game rules may have errors

Follow, what kind of activities ”the game” reallyleads to and adjust the rules accordingly

A game may be cheated Follow, what really happens in ”the game”

A game may manipulate people unethically Ask, do people understand how ”the game” influences their behavior

A game bores people if it does not advance ”Game” content and challenges must evolve with the players’ competencies

Gamification success only if ”the game” is a good game Making a good game is very difficult Nothing is as boring as a bad game
