Persuasive, transformational, gamified - Themenheft der i-com

"Persuasive Technologies" und "Gamification" erforscht den Einsatzinteraktiver Produkte mit dem Ziel, das Verhalten und die Einstellungen von Menschen gezielt zu verändern. Dabei gilt es eine Reihe von Aspekten zu berücksichtigen: von allgemeineren ethischen Fragen oder der Frage, was Motivation überhaupt ist, bis zur Gestaltung konkreter Produkte, ihrer Akzeptanz und der Messung ihres Erfolgs.

Vancouver is calling

The CHI conference in Vancouver is approaching. Matthias Laschke participates in the workshop on Gamification on Saturday with a plead for using more intrinsic rewards - "Mayor or patron? The difference between a badge and a meaningful story". On Wednesday, 11.00, he presents our Shower Calendar in the Session Sustainability 1. I hope you had the chance to meet Matthias ... he is still around.
