about.me/keizng

gamification = Use of game design and game psychology in non-game settings to engage and motivate target audience for target behaviors. It is a process, but not an end point.

@keizng

gamification = A design-thinking focused process to engage and motivate your audience into learning behaviors, with a balance of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards, to make learning more enjoyable.

@keizng

gamification = A process to engage and motivate your consumers into behaviors that directly or indirectly increase sales. It does not need to be transactional.

Top Challenges in HR that Gametize hears

§  High E-Learning dropout rate (60%-90%) §  High cost in attracting and onboarding new talents §  New generation of talents that are increasingly

prioritizing “purpose” and challenging to retain §  Lack of data in employee behaviors and satisfaction

“Onboarding begins from the day they accept the job”,

Joanna Yeoh, 5 Talents Consulting

Wow. This is what it should feel like

What motivates us? Flow Theory, By Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

•  One must be involved in an activity with a clear set of goals and progress. This adds direction and structure to the task.

•  The task at hand must have clear and immediate feedback. This helps the person negotiate any changing demands and allows them to adjust their performance to maintain the flow state.

•  One must have a good balance between the perceived challenges of the task at hand and their own perceived skills. One must have confidence in one's ability to complete the task at hand.

Gametize’s 5D Kickoff Framework

@keizng

Get your hands dirty!

Identify a problem you want to solve.

“Nobody is buying my hammers, because nobody trust them”


Determine your goal: What is the outcome you want to

achieve out of gamification?

“I want more people to trust my hammers and increase sales by 10 every month”


What are your target behaviours and emotions?

“I want the customers to review my hammers, whether good or bad”

“I love this experience because it makes me feel

powerful and listened to”

Case Study: Singapore Management University

Leadership and Team Building (LTB) is a core module offered as part of the business program in the Singapore

Management University (SMU).

To solve the problem of engagement in LTB beyond the classroom, the Gametize

platform to produce GameLead, a gamified experience to make learning

much more engaging, exciting and easy for 177 students in a pilot run.

GameLead was made available on both

web and mobile to be played by students wherever, whenever!

GameLead Case Study

A Case Study on Gamification and Learning All Rights Reserved. Gametize.com

Games were segregated according to LTB classes, students will only see their

designated classes, while administrators can access all 4 games.


A Game for Each Class

New quests unlocked weekly


A series of simple challenges, from photos, quizzes,

and videos prompted students

to reflect on and apply what they

have learnt in class

Challenges within each Quest


Challenges within each Quest


An activity feed enabled students to

view submissions

by other classmates and vote,

which increase the points of the submission

Students can also log their in-class participation for points here

Class Participation Quest


Gamification was also used to

collect student feedback on the

GameLead experience


Gathering Feedback and Sentiments


We were able to extract

sentiments that help us understand our users’

pain in using GameLead,

some of which are negative




We also discovered

what the students enjoyed

about GameLead

that can help with

future executions

Verdict and Results



Verdict: Successfully Gametized





Focus on the problem, objective, and data At a glance, it is easy to dismiss due to a handful negative reviews.

However, GameLead was designed to solve the problem of engaging students beyond the classroom, and the objective was to provide a

seamless and engaging experience through gamification. The success should then be measured based on the overall data in relation to these

questions, in this case, showing GameLead’s effectiveness.

Iterative Development and Improvement Gamification is a fairly new concept, especially with the use of digital technologies. An iterative approach to improving GameLead based on the data is key to its continued success. The unfavorable sentiments, though not necessary relevant, (e.g. minority users do not want to be engaged outside of classroom) should be reviewed and considered.

Conclusion for GameLead


Heaphy and Losada’s Positive to Negative Feedback Ratio: Can this be Gametized?

gamification is not magic. it is a process, which like many others, must be well-designed and planned. there are no rules to fun.

Why Gamification Matters

@keizng

What motivates us?

Gametize’s Intrinsic Motivation Framework

Scorecardhttp://bit.ly/gscorecard

The Gametize Scorecard & Checklist is designed to be a guiding light to make awesome games. Let's begin with a basic checklist.

§  Has the problem been defined? Otherwise, has an overall objective been identified? e.g. lack of motivation for training, implementing a long term loyalty and contest platform�

§  Have the goals been determined? e.g. Increased knowledge, interests, conversion of sales�

§  Have the target behaviors been decided? e.g. Players will do quizzes weekly, encourage each other�

§  Have the players been described? e.g. Unmotivated, avid mobile user, dislike ��

Great, now that you have these information, let's go on to design the Gametize experience, based on the following scorecard. You don't have to hit a perfect score, but these are questions that you should keep in mind. ��

Game•  How clear are the objectives of the games for the players? ___/10 �

(Do players know what to expect? Do they know what are the rewards, if any? Are these in the descriptions?)

•  How attractive are the rewards to the described players (monetary or non monetary) ___/10 �(For Enterprises, avoidance of penalties can be a form of reward too, e.g. dance)

•  Are there any "wow factors" or surprise discovery of rewards in place? ___/10 �(If so, are players somewhat aware, and how easy can the early rewards be discovered?)

•  How focused are the games? ___/10 �(Is the gametoo broad? Are the challenges specific and consistent in theme?)

Challenges•  How easy is the on-boarding (very first) challenge to complete? ___/10•  How appealing are the challenges to the described players? __/10 �

(Will the players be intrinsically motivated? e.g. sharing photos let them express themselves)

•  Will there be fresh challenges rolled out? If so, is the schedule well designed? ___/10 �(Also, are the players aware of new challenges periodically?)

•  Are the challenges well thought, relevant to the objectives/goals/problem, instead of being random? ___/10

•  Are the challenges easy to understand? ___/10•  There are not too much and overwhelming number of challenges ___/10

Feedbacks, Competition• How clear and frequent are the feedbacks? ___/10• Are the feedbacks relevant to objective/goals? ___/10

Some food for thoughts• What motivates the user to achieve the targeted

behavior? (Every time I want to ______, I use the app)•  Is this a long-term or short-term game? If it is the

former, what are your plans to sustain interest in the long run?

• Does the challenges increase with difficulty over time to give users a sense of mastery?
