Removing gamification from an enterprise
SNS. Paper presented at the Proceedings
of the ACM 2012 conference on Computer
Supported Cooperative Work.
Definitions
1. Gamification: the use of game-design
elements (e.g. badges, turns, goals,
challenges, playtesting) in non-game
contexts (e.g. education, marketing,
exercise, innovation)
2. Game design elements: the components
and mechanics of games, as well as the
principles, models, and methods of game
design. Examples include: badges, turns,
goals, challenges, and playtesting
3. Gamification design model: three
essential elements of a gamified system:
a user, a set of game design elements,
and a task. The model also includes the
relationships between these elements:
motivation, meaning, and valuation
4. Game elements: the components and
mechanics of games, such as points,
badges, turns, and limited resources
5. Generation Z: That segment of the
population born between 1990 and early
2000s.
