Cos'è il gamification e come può essere applicato all'elearning? Ecco il primo di una serie di articoli dove analizzeremo il fenomeno gamification.

A hub for academic and industry researchers with news, discussion and resources on the use of game design in non-game contexts

Gamification is an interesting concept put forward by Nick Pelling in the year 2002. So what does Gamification mean? It can be defined in simple terms as the use of machines and the feel of a simple game in order to inspire positive changes in people. It helps awaken the same human instincts that generally inspire the feeling of competition in sports and other such fun activities. The general elements included are the desire for recognition, competition, status, achievement, and altruism.

A simple example of Gamification can be that of Volkswagen. A lottery radar speed camera was installed in their machines which penalized drivers who exceeded speed limits and also awarded a lottery ticket to those who respected the speed limits. The prize for the lottery was funded by the penalised drivers. This resulted in positive changes in drivers and they started to respect speed limits. When changed into a simple game, more people felt inclined to control their speeds.

Since creation of the Gamification Wiki in November 2010, Gamification has surged in popularity and has quickly become one of the most talked about trends. Gamification.org was created to be the ultimate resource for the emerging Gamification Industry, creating a collaborative space for those interested to come together as a community and learn and explore what works and what doesn't and to collectively benefit from the knowledge and wisdom of the community.

La investigación actual confirma, cada vez más, que el aprendizaje de videojuegos y el aprendizaje en el aula funcionan de la misma manera. Al igual que los jugadores, los alumnos sobresalientes son más hábiles en la identificación y en el análisis de lo que no saben. Ambas actividades requieren que los participantes posean las habilidades metacognitivas necesarias para reconocer las debilidades de su propio pensamiento. A través de la auto-reflexión, identifican errores y se ajustan en consecuencia a fin de abordar sus deficiencias con la práctica. En la jerga del aprendizaje basado en juegos, esto se conoce como”iteración”.
