Goals of the Study
■ Develop and evaluate a gamification framwork that
– Can gamify a community application with less effort than
existing frameworks
– Enables all members of a CoP to gamify the community
application
– Can gamify any community application generated by the
Community Application Editor (CAE)
■ Integrate the gamification framework with the CAE
