During this week I participated in a Gamification Design workshop, so I thought\u00a0this could be a good inspiration post to share here. For many of you, this isn’t nothing new and probably you already are using it, but for those who aren’t aware, here goes some info.<\/p>\n

So what is Gamification?
\n<\/strong>As the name suggests, it`s a technique based on the same principles of pure gaming, that uses\u00a0elements of\u00a0game in a different context, usually boring, doing it in a Fun way in order to achieve a predefined purpose.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Misunderstanding
\n<\/strong>For some Gamification is adding Points, Badges and Leaderboards to a product, well for You-Kay Chou that’s\u00a0not the way.<\/p>\n

You-Kay Chou<\/strong> is an\u00a0entrepreneur, speaker, and gamification pioneer,\u00a0that\u00a0became obsessed with the combination of how to make games more productive, and simultaneously, how to make life more fun. So he is focused in explore\u00a0how to use Gamification to make a positive impact on our\u00a0work and life.<\/p>\n

Octalysis<\/strong>
\nYou-Kay Chou created\u00a0Octalysis<\/a>,\u00a0his own gamification framework. Based on his experience and\u00a0tries to improve the gamification design process, and with this tool he enables\u00a0users to develop the Octalysis for their\u00a0own product\/process based on eight core drives. You can get more info on is site\u00a0www.yukaichou.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here you can see an example of Oclalysis applied to Facebook.<\/p>\n

Gamification is\u00a0being used with success for many different purposes, by companies, ONG, governments, scientists.<\/p>\n

Foldit Solves puzzles for science
\n<\/strong>This is one of the most impressive and\u00a0successful examples\u00a0of Gamification, Foldit is a revolutionary crowdsourcing computer game enabling you<\/em> to contribute to important scientific research.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Foldit players helped decipher the crystal structure<\/a> of the Mason-Pfizer monkey virus<\/a> (M-PMV) retroviral<\/a> protease<\/a>, an AIDS<\/a>-causing monkey virus<\/a>, a scientific problem that had been unsolved for 15 years. Although the puzzle was available for three weeks, players produced an accurate 3D model of the enzyme<\/a> in just ten days. ( .. in Wikipedia ).<\/p>\n
