What is Gamification?

Find out what gamification is and how it differs from traditional games. In this video, we define gamification and how it can be used in a variety of different contexts. We provide examples inspired from Minecraft to Candy Crush of how gamification is currently being used to improve learning outcomes and increase physical activity.
Please subscribe to our channel, we post videos about gamification, games user research, and physiological computing.
