Welche Anforderung stellt Gamification an den Nutzer

Ich sehe das weniger als Anforderung, sondern eher als eingrenzende Leitung. Der Nutzer muss nur mit den von dem gamifizierten System gegebenen Werkzeugen und Funktionalitäten sein oder ihre Arbeit machen. Hier genau kommt aber die User Experience und das Design ins Spiel, bzw. wie erfolgreich die Mechaniken basierend auf das Nutzer-Szenario verwendet worden sind, so daß der Nutzer nicht von den Möglichkeiten des Systems ausgebremst wird. Ziel ist, daß die Nutzer nicht das Gefühl verlieren, daß sie den Überblick und die Kontrolle über den gesamten Ablauf haben. Pragmatisch gesehen, müssen sie ständig und transparent die Kontrolle über den Prozess der gesamten Tätigkeit haben. Daher sollte User Experience diese spielerischen Elemente nicht als unvermeidliche Hindernisse diesbezüglich hinzufügen, sondern diese als Realisierung der Offenheit bereitstellen.

Gameful but not gamified User Experience

Photo by Chris Liverani on Unsplash Gamification The definition for gamification has been properly given by Sebastian Deterding, Dan Dixon, Rilla Khaled and Lennart Nacke in their paper with title From Game Design Elements to Gamefulness: Defining “Gamification” . That is: "… use of game design elements in non-game contexts." The term of gamification has been a bit of a buzz-word for the last few, maybe, years in the field of enterprise and consumer software. Apart from being used, it has been also clearly misused, bringing in mind mostly points, badges, top lists and attempts to motivation. Until someday, while searching for the term gameful, I came up to this really interesting quote by Jane McGonigal from her session with title We don’t need no stinkin’ badges: How to re-invent reality without gamification : "Within the video game and digital media industry, discontent with some interpretations have already led designers to coin different ter...

Gamification: Toward a Definition Ref: Gamification: Toward a Definition ; Sebastian Deterding, Rilla Khaled, Lennart E. Nacke, Dan Dixon. Photo by Samuel Zeller on Unsplash I was reading the above mentioned paper regarding the term of gamification and its definition. I found some really interesting lines that I would like to share as notes. "A working definition of the term gamification is the use of game design elements in non-game contexts." I find this sentence pretty laconic, with a clear meaning and really interesting the fact that there is not any clue or reference to the the term of play, which unfortunately is often misinterpreted! Actually, the writers mention it nicely and clearly while analyzing the definition few paragraphs below, that "…we are talking about elements of games, not of play." Moreover, I found also interesting the approach of the terms play and use in the following quote regarding the term of element within t...

Video games as an aspect of Visual Culture

Image
Are video games an aspect of Visual Culture studies? Definitely yes, but not only because Wikipedia says so. Photo by Ales Nesetril on Unsplash In the former years the video games constituted interactive sequences of images that were consumed by players, with a relatively low level of complexity in terms of user experience and user engagement. The very first game platforms offered straight forward gameplay including a controller with very few buttons as a physical interface. The multiplayer mode introduced a more sophisticated engagement involving two players, two physical interfaces as input peripherals and a single display. The pixels on the screen might had been very few in the very beginning, and might have been increasing later on indeed, but did have strong impact on this primitive game experience. In the latter years, the game experience has been advanced into a more sophisticated complex of multiple mediums. The gamer nowadays consumes real time visual information fro...
