Gamification of LearningPresented by Ashley Anderson
The Problem with Traditional Learning• Skills and concepts are abstracted from their
context
• Education is more of an information distribution channel rather than a learning experience
• not enough engagement and motivation
• not enough feedback
Game Traditional Learning
Tasks repetitive, but fun repetitive and dull
Feedback constantly after each activity/test has been graded
Failure expected, not too scary forbidden
Status of Users transparent hidden
Collaboration yes yes
What is Gamification?
• use of game design elements in non-game contexts !
• improves user experience, engagement, and motivation in non-game settings !
• learning culture that aligns more closely to student’s habits and interests
How Gamification Can Improve Learning• Concepts are better retained and behaviors changed
when the learner is engaged in the new information
• allows learners to understand the context in which to apply skills
• allows learners to take chances in a less threatening setting
• learners can change their behavior based on feedback
Gamification Elements
Gamification Elements
• collecting points
• reaching levels
• own pace
(Saunderson, 2011)
• storytelling (Kiili, 2005)
• freedom to fail (Kapp, 2012)
• goal focused (Saunderson, 2011)
• obtaining feedback (Saunderson, 2011)
Quest to Learn (Q2L)
Is gamified learning more effective than traditional learning?
Participants: 40 people interested in learning Japanese btw. ages 20-25
IV: learning tool (Rosetta Stone vs. Rosetta Stone Gamified)
DV: test scores satisfaction level with the learning the tool
Statistical Test: independent variables t-test
