The nature of education and learning and development has changed dramatically since the introduction of digital technologies. The ability to access knowledge and information on demand has shifted the role of teachers away from knowledge dissemination to knowledge facilitation and coaching. Gamification has been an effective practice for education since the dawn of civilization but technologies such as video games and the Internet create opportunities for self-directed learning and development that create new challenges for educators. This presentation explores the role of Gamification and enabling technologies in Education and provides thoughts on how to implement Gamification strategies relevant for today and tomorrow.

21. Why is Gamification especially important Today?

22. Why should this be critical to the future of society?

23. Look around any city at the buildings and
infrastructure

24. Reflect on the technologies we take for granted in
our daily lives

25. These are the manifestation of the collective efforts
of our Civilisation

26. They are born out of the ideas, dreams, passions
and abilities of generations of individuals…..

27. .. who have been able to influence and motivate the
actions of other human beings on a massive
collective scale

28. No individual working alone has a fraction of the
physical and mental strengths needed to develop
the world we live in today

29. From Ancient Greek philosophers through Religious
Leaders and Renaissance geniuses to modern day
business moguls

of citizens to Gamify their world which has led and
motivated other citizens to follow them

activity and different for any individual

34. Think About Two Things from Today
Measurement/Feedback and Challenges

35. A critical component in Gamification is the ability to
measure and visualise change

36. Measurement and visualisation of change provides
feedback

37. Access to feedback from our actions is an essential
part of learning and development

38. Positive feedback can reinforce behaviour and
negative feedback cause changed behaviour

39. Without challenges there is no motivation to shape
the world

40. Challenges are an essential part of life and our
continuous development

41. As we develop and adapt to our world, the
challenges and levels of awareness, affectedness
and activation weaken

42. Emerging measurement and feedback technologies
generate fresh challenges which can transform us from
spectators into fans, players and even games masters

43. Triggering our basic human need to shape our world by
influencing the actions, behaviours, characteristics and
state of entities within our world is vital to our future
