“…In education, gamification has been successfully used to increase student engagement and participation (Denny, 2013;Fitz-Walter et al, 2011;Goehle, 2013) and enhance learning (Li, Grossman, and Fitzmaurice 2012;Cheong, Cheong, and Filippou 2013;Dong et al 2012). Fitz-Walter et al investigated the use of game achievements within Orientation Passport, a mobile application designed to help university students learn about their campus during the orientation phase of the semester.…”

The term "Gamification" is an emerging paradigm that aims to employ game mechanics and game thinking to change behavior. Gamification offers several effective ways to motivate users into action such as challenges, levels and rewards. However, an open research problem is discovering the set of gamification features that consistently result in a higher probability of success for a given task, game or application. The objective of this paper is to bridge this knowledge gap by quantifying the gamification features that are consistently found in successful applications. Knowledge gained from this work will inform designers about the gamification features that lead to higher chances of an application's success, and the gamification features that do not significantly impact the success of an application. The case study presented in this work leverages demographic heterogeneity and scale of applications existing within mobile platforms to evaluate the impact of gamification features on the success or failure of those applications. The successful game design features identified have the potential to be embedded into interactive gamification platforms across various fields such as healthcare, education, military and marketing, in order to maintain or enhance user engagement.

“…One is Orientation Passport ( [12], developed and evaluated further in [13] and [14]), a mobile pervasive game designed to help first-year students with orientation at university. It applies gamification in the form of an achievement system, and investigates the effect this has on players' engagement and motivation.…”

Orientation in public environments is a critical skill for new arrivals, yet also one that is usually only learned gradually through trial and error. This paper suggests the use of pervasive augmented reality (AR) for the design of a serious game that teaches navigational skills in a public environment. Many AR scavenger hunt games confront players with new environments by default, however they rarely focus explicitly on teaching navigational skills. We propose a concept that utilises augmented reality techniques for increased immersion and motivation, while upholding the real-world sense of presence for an easy transfer of orientation skills to everyday life. For this purpose, we implemented a first prototypical serious game in the form of an AR scavenger hunt. A preliminary evaluation regarding its usability produced promising results. As such, the prototype constitutes a first proof of concept. In future iterations, it will be further developed as an adaptive AR serious game, and evaluated in respect to its efficacy in teaching orientation and navigation skills.

“…Badge architectures in educational systems may be embedded into a gameful system (see for example [11]), or may be used as independent game-like mechanics to animate non-game learning activities, as in the examples of the Khan Academy and the future MITx framework [12], in Mozilla Open Badges [13] or in the RSS Network [14].…”

Abstract-In this paper we argue that badge architectures are narrative, material and performative repertoires which can be meaningfully employed to provide university students with a coherent understanding of education. Badge architectures function as powerful interpretative tools through which students make sense of their immediate learning world. However, the efficiency of badges in education depends on associated structures of distribution, procurement and display that articulate modes of participation within a local community of practice. By considering our experience in the design, implementation and evaluation of the badge system 'RL Hit List', we claim that more insightful perspectives emerge from considering motivation as a socio-technical accomplishment than as a state of mind. This view might be read as an invitation for designers and researchers to reconsider the intrinsic -extrinsic dichotomy in assessing the value of badges to motivate students.
