Many people believe Gamification is the key to the problem of motivation. But only in a few cases it could be applied successfully up till today. Posting the same post 5 years ago might have resulted in a lot of positive discussion and feedback, but nowadays people are already a little disappointed of how Gamification performs in general. It's still a good argument but it shouldn't be the only one and it should have some examples from successful applications by the author.
The same goes for the software that 26gems plans to implement. Gamification should not be its main selling point, but it can be an awesome finishing.
- mathattack 13y agoI agree - we are only now coming to where we understand gamification enough. I do believe that gamification is very important for some of the rote, but necessary, aspects of educations. It's not a cure-all, but perhaps it's good for drilling basic math, building vocabulary, and learning grammar.
