Dr Jason Fox.

Following a recent blog entitled Gamified Learning, a friend and colleague pointed me towards the work of Dr Jason Fox, someone with far more expertise on the subject matter than me. Thanks Venki!

In the video on his homepage, he indicates the following as being key benefits of gamifying the learning process:

  • Goal driven
  • Challenge intense
  • Feedback rich
  • Experience
  • Progress is key

However, Dr Fox takes it a step further by using gamification concepts not just as a learning mechanism but as a means of motivating people to unlock epic progress.
