2. Know the Elements of Gamification (cont.)

A few key components:

  • Experience bars -- These measure our incremental progress and help us visualize how far we’ve come and how far we have to go.
  • Multiple long- and short-term goals -- These are our main quests and side quests, which are broken down into smaller tasks.
  • Rewards for effort -- Every bit of effort exerted in a game is rewarded through credit, such as gold, loot and experience.
  • Rapid, frequent and clear feedback -- This clearly links actions to consequences, which makes learning easier and faster.
  • The element of uncertainty -- This is the neurological gold mine: we keep going because we want to find out what’s next.
  • Windows of enhanced attention -- Gameplay helps boost memory and confidence. Game players are more willing to take risks and pursue difficult tasks.
  • Other people -- Gameplay gives us a chance to connect with multiple players online.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
