Here are four papers, articles, and/or chapters that discuss various aspects of gamification and what it means to education, learning and the public in general. WARNING–There is not a general consensus among these articles…that’s exactly why I collected these different views. The first article is from an online journal called GAME.

Here are three videos, all from a slightly different perspective that, I think, are related in one way or another to the future of learning both within organizations and within academic institutions. We need to learn from the expert teachers, from what is happening online and, of course, from games. What makes a teacher great? (this clear back from 2012).

Here are Seven unique slide decks from Slideshare.net each giving a different take (visually and contextually) on the concept of gamification. The first is from Sebastian Deterding: 9,5 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Gamification from Sebastian Deterding. The second was presented at a conference by Kyle Findlay and Kirsty Aberts. It’s got great game graphics and provides results of some research they conducted in an online community with adding gamification elements.
