Does Gamification Actually Work? Yes, and Here's Why | BLP
Gamification works when it's designed thoughtfully and stays focused on learning goals. Sharon Boller shares guidelines and picks apart some questionable research.
1. Keep game complexity simple, particularly when you are using a game to support relatively short lessons.
<strong>2. Reward players for performance, not completion</strong>.
<strong>3. Be cautious with leaderboards</strong>.
4. As much as possible, align the game element choices you use to the learner’s actual job context.
<strong>5. Make the in-game goal align with the learning goal in a reasonable way that “makes sense” for the learners who will play your game or complete your gamified lesson</strong>.
6. Stop thinking you have to make the game super “fun.”

The descriptions are generally copied and pasted from the source, so no additional insight is added in the post. It's still a useful list though.
