TRANSCRIPT



"Gamification is using game-based
mechanics, aesthetics and game thinking
to engage people, motivate action,
promote learning, and solve problems.”
- Karl Kapp, author of The Gamification
of Learning and Instruction: Game-
based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education

Gamification isn’t about games, but the
learners.
It isn’t only about knowledge but also
behaviour.

-Heather Coffey
