Gamifying the
Educational Process
Games have the potential to bring about phenomenal changes in an individual.
Games have been used historically to improve skills, and in some cases develop new
skills. The most visible example of gamication can be of the armed forces the world
over, who conduct "war-games" to help soldiers experience the war environment
and use their training skills to achieve the results. These games help them use and
develop their skills. Although gamication methods need to be used cautiously, the
advantages outweigh the cautions if the gamied process is implemented smartly.
What exactly is gamication?
Gamication is the use of strategies and techniques used by game designers, in
situations other than games to get people to treat those situations more like a game.
People confuse serious games, game theory, video game design, and gamication as
one and the same. These could be things such as fun, rules, competition, points, and
so on, and then applying them to non-game situations.
Gamication differs from serious games. Serious games are considered games, but
they are not designed for the purpose of having fun. They are for more practical
uses. Flight simulators, for example, have all the mechanics, technologies, and design
processes found in a ight video game. Developers, however, create the video game
for entertainment purposes, while the ight simulator has a more serious purpose.
Game theory, on the other hand, is merely the study of strategic decision making,
which takes "Game-Like" thinking into consideration when making a decision.
Gamication pertains to the structure and design process applied in good game
design, whether it is a video game, board game, or a serious game. Gamication is
simply a set of tools and materials used in game design, which also applies to jobs
other than creating a game.
