In one of my earlier articles on gamification, Top 6 Benefits Of Gamification In eLearning, I had highlighted both these aspects as follows: Gamification is about more than just playing games (in fact, sometimes it does not involve playing games at all). It can be defined as the concept of applying game-design thinking to non game applications.Wikipedia defines gamification as “the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems”.

What Are The Benefits Of Gamification In eLearning? Again, I will recap from my article the key benefits of gamification: Better learning experience.The learner can experience “fun” during the game and still learn if the level of engagement is high. Does Gamification Really Help Learners Recall Or Retain Information Better? The answer is an emphatic “yes.” How Can You Ensure Success Of Gamification In eLearning?

Pelillistäminen, gamification, on tämän vuoden hype-sana opetuksen ja myös henkilöstöhallinnon alueilla. Kirjoitin jo aiemmin ajatuksiani koulun pelillistämisestä kirjoituksessani Koulu on jo peli. Muutaman pelillisen kokemuksen suunniteltuani ja vedettyäni olen aavistuksen eri mieltä asiasta. Tai: asia on yksinkertaisempi kuin aiemmin ajattelin. Todetaan alkuun, että PBL ja mekanistinen lähestymistapa pelillistämiseen ovat se helppo, usein nähty keino, jonka tulokset ovat toki merkittäviä, mutta eivät oikeasti se, mitä halutaan saada aikaan.

Pelillistäminen tarkoittaa, että osallistuja luulee olevansa pelaaja, siis pelin taikapiirin sisällä, jossa ei tarvitse toimia oikean maailman sääntöjen mukaan. Avainasemassa on magic circle, siis taikapiiri. Otetaan esimerkki IT-kouluttajien koulupeli-seminaarista. Tästä myös opetuksen pelillistämisessä on kyse. Jos ja kun jotain ympäristöä tai prosessia aletaan pelillistää, ei pidä lähteä pelimekaniikasta.

Pelillistämisen perusteet. Gamification Wiki. Gamifying Learning. Systems Thinking Games. Systems Thinking Games, developed in partnership with Filament Games, are designed to be used by youth and educators to assess systems thinking skills both in the classroom and in afterschool contexts. A precursor to the GlassLab, this project brings together teachers, assessment experts and game designers and developers to collaboratively design and build a suite of games with data tools that support teachers in evaluating the way players approach problem-solving, and the strategies players use in understanding and interacting with complex systems.

Currently, research is underway to develop assessment frameworks that yield valid and reliable assessment measures across the suite of digital games.

Now I am a bit sleepy, but it was worth for it. I succeeded to beat my opponent’s score and I can still taste the victory – nammn. The designer of the game that I played managed to engage me and focus my attention on the game events until I reached my goal.

I was in the Zone, I mean in Flow and that inspired me to write this post and revisit my thoughts about flow. In fact, I am in flow again. Back to the games. Let’s dive deeper and define the building blocks of flow experience. Flow framework When player’s goals are clear he can more easily stay focused on the learning tasks. The main purpose of the feedback is to inform player about his performance and progression toward the goals. The playability antecedent is included to replace Csikszentmihalyi’s action-awareness merging dimension, which is problematic in the learning game context. The challenge dimension can be explained with three-channel model of flow.
