Gamification Tricks people into believing that there’s a simple way to imbue their thing… with the psychological, emotional and social power of a great game.
How does Gamification Work?
If you want to gamify your education app or website, you need to understand what “game thinking” is. Game thinking is a specific approach that uses the mechanics and the aesthetics of games while designing something different – for example, mobile or web resources for education. The critical point here is to apply specific strategies and rules to encourage, guide, challenge, and praise users. When your product (an app, a website, a course, or a single lesson) is gamified, it means that everything looks engaging and functions like in a video game.
