Most people are confused about different terms associated with games and gamification. If you are one of them, you are likely to confuse your clients, participants, and audience members. Untangle the terminology so you can clearly communicate what you do and what you can do for others.

This week Thiagi and Monica will discuss how to:

  • Avoid confusion and misunderstanding when talking about games and gamification to your clients and participants.
  • Confidently differentiate between games and gamification and among different types of games and different types of gamification.
  • Specify different elements of games and different elements of gamification. Select the most appropriate elements to achieve a specific goal.
  • Clearly compare and contrast game design and gamification design. Identify the important similarities and differences between these two strategies.
