2.1

gamification is not making everything a game .gamification says you still in the real world and let make the experience better,learn from game,not pull you out of the real world

gamiffication is not any games in the workspace,is not use games in business,is not simulations

 

gamification is to use the game elements and game design techniques in non-game contexts

1,listening what games can teach up

2,learning from game design

3,appreciating fun,game creates the sense that we call fun

 

2.2  what is a game

历史上对此问题的看待

ludwig wittgenstein   ---there is no boundry to define what is a game,so impossibles

bernard suits --- 

1,pre-lusory goal 

2,constitutive rule 

3,lusory attitude,game-like attitude

4,voluntarily overcoming unnecessary obstacles(to follow the rules)

juhan huizina---come up with an idea called the magic circle,apart from the real world,when you in the magic circle ,the game rules matter instead of the rules of reality

so,gamification is to deep people as much as can to let people in the magic circle

 

2.3 game and play

the difference between game and play

roger caillois------

play is do everything ,there is a boundry,inside the world,you can be yourself and try out anything

games is a list of choices ,and each of them leads for the outcomes and maybe give new choices

takeaways for gamification:

voluntariness

learning or problem solving 

balance of structure and exploration

 

2.4 video games

how big the market is

 

2.5 just a game?

本节主要讲了game对现实的影响，比如 部分中国人花钱雇人 在魔兽世界中挖矿 将金币转卖------虚拟←→现实

以及，现实生活中的很多行为，活动，都对应游戏中的专有名词

如，员工之间的月度销售竞赛------challenge的概念

星巴克的免费wifi，麦当劳的免费续杯----rewards的概念，等等
