“…In the field of game studies scholars have explored game playing experiences (Azadvar & Dalqvist, 2020;Bianchi-Berthouze et al, 2007;Deterding, 2011;Deterding et al, 2013;De Schutter, 2010;De Schutter & Brown, 2015;Ermi & Mäyrä, 2005;Marston, 2013a;Marston et al, 2016;Nacke & Lindley, 2008;Nacke & Lindley, 2009;Payne et al, 2011;Voida & Greenberg, 2012;Whitelock et al, 2014) to understand how players engage with videogames. Generally speaking game playing experiences vary based on the respective game genre(s) been played (De Schutter & Brown, 2015;Marston, 2013a;Marston et al, 2016;Nacke & Lindley, 2008;Nacke & Lindley, 2009;Voida & Greenberg, 2012;Whitelock et al, 2014).…”

Video games are often thought of as trite activities for younger generations. However, research in game studies over the last few decades have revealed that games can be valuable tools for growth and connection, particularly among older generations. Exploring the ways digital games can be used as tools for connection has gained increased attention in recent months with global quarantines as a result of COVID-19. This article reviews the research that has examined the utility of digital games for older adults, focusing specifically on the ways in which games can be tools for social connectedness and psychological healing for older adults and intergenerationally. Special focus will be placed on the role games can play for post-traumatic stress among first responders.

“…The proposed evaluation of student answers is based on OCL and is suitable for teaching and evaluating the syntax of the UML diagrams, but does not cover the diagram semantics part and does not analyze the process of applying the UML diagrams in software development. Based on the definition of gamification by Deterding et al , our proposed course leans closer to the gamification field, while Cosentino et al methodology is oriented towards the field of serious games.…”

The paper analyses the effect of applying gamification in a course for undergraduate computer science students in the Faculty of Informatics at Kaunas University of Technology. The course teaches Unified Modelling Language (UML) and its application in the Unified Process for software development. In this paper, the gamified course metamodel is presented, and it specifies a level‐based course structure as well as other gamification elements used in the course, such as points and other types of rewards (coins, items, and badges), the leaderboard, content locking and trading. The gamified course was implemented on Moodle platform, and the experiment was carried out during spring semester 2018. The analysis of students’ grades confirms the hypothesis which states that students’ grades can increase as a result of applying gamification to their learning process. The results of students’ questionnaire (based on the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory scale) also confirm the hypothesis which states that gamification can improve students’ motivation.

“…Our research aims to answer the call for additional research by human-computer interaction (HCI) researchers who have stressed the need for academics and practitioners to consider features and functions of gamification technologies vis-à-vis user experience processes that drive engagement at cognitive and affective levels (Deterding et al, 2013, Nicholson, 2012. Current industry literature on this subject usually only offers advice for adding gamification as a bolt-on application or service for existing business processes (Ferrara, 2012;Zichermann & Cunningham, 2011).…”

“…Attention has been drawn to factors -such as business objectives, employee motivations, and user experience -that constitute key determinants in the effective adoption of enterprise gamification programs. However, owing to the novel nature of gamification and its emergent corporate use cases, there is a general dearth of academic and industry literature explaining these issues (Deterding et al, 2013;Hamari et al, 2014).…”

Gamification initiatives are currently top-of-mind for many organizations seeking to engage their employees in creative ways, improve their productivity, and drive positive behavioural outcomes in their workforce -ultimately leading to positive business outcomes on the whole. Despite its touted benefits, little empirical research has been done to date to investigate technological and individual personal factors that determine the success or failure of enterprise gamification initiatives. In this article, we provide a summary of our preliminary research findings from three case studies of gamification initiatives across different business contexts and present an empirically validated descriptive framework that details the key success factors for enterprise gamification. Our adaptation of the mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics (MDA) framework for enterprise gamification aims to explicate the connections between end-user motivations, interactive gameplay elements, and technology features and functions that constitute effective gamification interventions in the enterprise. Following a discussion of the core elements in the framework and their interrelationships, the implications of our research are presented in the form of guidelines for the management and design of gamification initiatives and applications. The research findings presented in this article can potentially aid in the development of game mechanics that translate into positive user experiences and foster higher levels of employee engagement. Additionally, our research findings provide insights on key success factors for the effective adoption and institutionalization of enterprise gamification initiatives in organizations, and subsequently help them enhance the performance of their employees and drive positive business outcomes.Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.
