Player Types and Gamification
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a brief history of the concept of player types starting with Bartles’s work on MUDs and continuing to more recent, empirical research. Player types are not a defined concept and any categorization of players or users needs to occur within the context of a particular application or domain. Play-personas are suggested as a useful tool that can be used to put player type research into practice as part of the design process of gamified systems.

Investigating the Relationship between Player Types and Learning Styles in Gamification Design
An educational gamification is a new approach that has developed hopes to increase the effectiveness of learning. Computer game users are actually players that are categorized according to their personalities and have different learning styles. To achieve maximum performance in designing gamified learning, one can determine the relationship between player types and their learning styles, and th...
متن کاملValidating Gamification Mechanics and Player Types in an E-learning Environment
We present a preliminary user study in an e-learning environment aimed to adapt and validate generic mechanics and player types proposed in the gamification literature. We incorporate well-known gamification mechanics into a number learning activities, implemented them as functionalities of an e-learning system, and investigate the learning effectiveness of the proposed mechanics, as well as th...

متن کاملSelecting Effective Influence Principles for Tailoring Gamification-Based Strategies to Player Roles
Gamification is a term that refers to the use of game elements in nongame contexts with the goal of engaging people in a variety of tasks. Gamification can be an effective persuasive tool for motivating learners and lately we have witnessed a growing interest in gamified learning systems. However, the efforts of the research community in the last years have shown the weakness of one-size-fits-a...
متن کاملUnderstanding Student Perceptions of Game Elements to Develop Gamified Systems for Learning
As a precursor to the development of a gamified system to improve learning outcomes, we investigate the perception of important stakeholders, namely learners, on gamification in learning. However, as gamification is a relatively new approach/term, we neither assume that learners are knowledgeable about it nor do we attempt to explain the term in detail to them. Instead, we focus on common eleme...
