70% of Global 2000 have at least one Gamified application
50% of companies with innovative processes will gamifiy those processes
By 2015?

Authenticiy, Authentic Learning, Realismnticity
authentic learning: require learning to occur within environments that replicate actions and requirements as they may be presented or experienced in a real working environment. Enables experiences and learning to be more contextualised. Thinking and problem solving, driven by student decision.
authenticity: often assumed to imply ‘realistic’, this is not necessarily the case; it is most important that the learning and activities reflect the development and use of the knowledge as required in the given real or virtual environments. Thus, a process can be highly authentic, but in a non-realistic setting.
realism: fidelity is a measure of resemblance to real environments; thus, high fidelity environments have a high degree of resemblance to real environments, where a very realistic simulation has been employed.

n-Dimensional Immersive Virtual Environment
• increase authenticity through inclusion of real-life complexity • use scenarios linked into a comprehensive supply chain • include gaming mechanisms to increase student engagement
Supply ChainA supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. Supply chain activities transform natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.

Story
Narratives• teacher / expert• „perfect“ solution• hard to beat
• exploration • guidance by bots
Gamification
rewind (Machinima, interactive)
time (break-down to sectors)
score (commands, meter, task switch)
comparison (self, friends, world)
ghost (learn from experts)next life (being able to „die“)
Slow motion (understanding processes)
