Too simplistic
Repetitive and boring tasks
Poorly designed tasks that do not support
progressive understanding and a limited
range of activities
Games that coerce the player into learning

24. Is the aspect of classroom/library experience in
question suitable for gamification?
 Is the resulting game experience something the
target group would enjoy?
 What is the ultimate goal of gamifying this
particular aspect of classroom/library
experience?
 What are the logistical needs that should be met
to ensure the success of your gamification
project?


25. 


Gamification alone does not guarantee
student engagement or learning.
A clear goal, careful planning, and skillful
execution are necessary for the success of a
gamification project.
More research is needed about how and when
to best use games to improve instructional
outcomes and motivation.
