Jordan Shapiro Against Gamification

“Gamification is really popular in advertising, in human resources, in coffee shop

loyalty programs, pretty much everywhere. They gamify schools today by replacing

grades with levels, merit badges, where learning becomes about accumulating

rewards, leveling up and overcoming danger [..]

Gamification is one of the most convoluted, nonsensical, illogical things I can

imagine. Gamification is built on the assumption that what we need is better

competitive, commodified motivation systems [..]

That’s the kind of thinking that lead to a global education crisis.”

Three Levels of Participation

PASSIVE (RE)ACTIVE (PRO)ACTIVE

From Individual Games to Gamified Experiences

The goal is not just a game played by one person,

not even a multiplayer game,

but a process and environment

involving all kinds of content,

different people,

in various contexts,

addressing several learning goals.
