Gamification 09

Done well is a positive, non-trivial, engagement strategy

Data Collection

Gamification provides a

context for data collection

about the behaviours of

the learner

Analytics

Analysis of the data allows us to

represent the data in ways that

is more meaningful to both the

teacher and the learner

PersonalisationThe ecosystem allows us to

offer a personalised learning

experience.

More effective and more efficient learning

AnalyticsLeveraging the data of learning behaviours
