The mechanisms we employ
• Leaderboards
• Badging
• Scores
• Progress
markers
• Surprises
(easter

• Limits

9. Gamification 09
Done well is a positive, non-trivial, engagement strategy
Data
Collection
Gamification provides a
context for data collection
about the behaviours of
the learner
Analytics
Analysis of the data allows us to
represent the data in ways that
is more meaningful to both the
teacher and the learner
Personalisation
The ecosystem allows us to
offer a personalised learning
experience.
More effective and
more efficient learning
