However, until now the kinds of gamification approaches which exist and how they could be applied in the context of knowledge exchange in enterprises has been under-researched. By briefly summarising the current status of research in the fields of social capital, knowledge management and motivational theory...

Evolutions in technology have changed the day-to-day especially in education. The ways of teaching and learning have begun the same process. Only the methods can be varieties depends on the instructors. Nowadays, the interest-growing topic in education is about gamification.

Gamification design is considered as the predictor of collaborative storytelling websites' success. Although aforementioned studies have mentioned a broad range of factors that may influence gamification, they neither depicted the actual design features nor relative attractiveness among them. This study aims to identify attractive gamification features for collaborative storytelling websites. W...

In this paper we present an approach for personalizing gamification to the needs of each individual person. We designed the personalization for computer-supported collaborative learning environments by synthesizing three existing design frameworks: the lens of intrinsic skill atoms, gamification user type hexad and heuristics for effective design of gamification. The result of the design proces...

Gamification is an approach to motivate users of information systems by implementing game elements. Despite its potentials, the use of gamification in practice has also received criticism because most gamification elements are integrated into systems without considering the preferences of the respective users and without considering contextual aspects. Hence, we aim at identifying which element...

Contested within the debate around gamification has been the very concept of what a game is, what the core mechanics of games are, and whether gamification truly mobilises these core mechanics. This paper will challenge the foundation...

Gamification or gameful design attempts to raise participation through the application of game design patterns and principles in nongame environments. It has successfully been applied but in many cases gamification fails due to di↵erent kind of design phase pitfalls. Several game and gamification design taxonomies and guides exists. But it is hard to select the right one for a specific applicat...

This paper reviews the findings of several studies and surveys that address the increasing popularity and usage of so-called fitness “gamification.” Fitness gamification is used as an overarching and information term for the use of video game elements in non-gaming systems to improve user experience and user engagement. In this usage, game components such as a scoreboard, competition amongst fr...

Gamification refers to the use of game elements in a non-entertainment-based context, and is a wellknown approach to motivate users of information systems. Despite the positive effects of games in daily life, more gamification projects fail. A possible explanation for this observation is that game elements are often designed without considering the needs of different groups of users. Consequent...
