What is Gamification?
the process of adding games or game-like elements to something (such as a task) so as to encourage participation
“Gamification techniques strive to access people’s natural desires for socializing, learning, mastery, competition, achievement, status, self-expression, and closure.
Gamification strategies include use of rewards for players who accomplish desired tasks or competition to engage players. Types of rewards include points, achievement badges or levels, the filling of a progress bar, or providing the user with virtual currency.
Making the rewards for accomplishing tasks visible to other players or providing leaderboards are further ways of encouraging players to compete.”
Gamification is the craft of driving all the fun and addicting elements found in games and applying them to real-world or productive activities. This is what I call “Human-Focused Design” as opposed to the “Function-Focused Design.” It is a design process that optimizes for the human in the system, as opposed to the pure efficiency of the system.
