What is game design thinking?


GBL and gamification

Image: Stanley Yip 2013

The design and application of game elements and game mechanics to normally non-gaming activities.

Games Based Learning (GBL) is about using games in learning not just parts of games. GBL can include using existing games, re-purposed games and/or custom made educational games.


Pyramid of gamification elements

Kevin Werbach

Progression, Narrative (topic/theme), Constraints, Relationships (collaborative vs individual learning)

Competition/co-operation, feedback, achievements, reward, points, level (differentiation), taking turns, win states, resource acquisition/collections

Ribbons, tokens, trophies, cards, stickers, matches, contests, quests, Boss fights/hard tasks, advantages over others (e.g. first choice), extra info, forums, peer review, rubrics and self assessment
