odt2braille - Home From Game Design Elements to Gamefulness: Defining Gamification The proceedings of the 2011 MindTrek conference are finally online in the ACM Digital Library, and with it, the paper I co-wrote with Rilla Khaled, Dan Dixon, and Lennart E.

Here’s the abstract: Recent years have seen a rapid proliferation of mass-market consumer software that takes inspiration from video games.

And here’s the presentation: From Game Design Elements to Gamefulness: Defining “Gamification” It’s been a while since we wrote this paper (almost a year, actually), and my own thinking has changed a bit since – if anything, I have become even more sceptical of what on earth a “game design element” could be, let alone how to determine whether X “is” or “isn’t” one. Reference Sebastian Deterding, Dan Dixon, Rilla Khaled, and Lennart Nacke. 2011.
