Challenges in Gamification
S Is the aspect of classroom/library experience in question
suitable for gamification?
S Is the resulting game experience something the target
group would enjoy?
S What is the ultimate goal of gamifying this particular
aspect of classroom/library experience?
S What are the logistical needs that should be met to
ensure the success of your gamification project?
Importance of Execution
S Gamification alone does not guarantee
student engagement or learning.
S A clear goal, careful planning, and skillful
execution are necessary for the success
of a gamification project.
