Jocul este un sistem care motiveaza jucatorii
Transform Your Business Using Social Media, Mobile Internet, and Cloud Computing
"There’s an app for that!”
has become an exclamation of satisfactn for a growing number of smartphone adopters. Each app becomes a small demystifying revelation that arms people with whatevertool theyneed to become instant experts at the game, whatever the game is. There is nothing quite like that aha! moment. It gives people power, confidence, and a sense of being rewarded. And it is enjoyable because an app can add an element of fun to even the most mundane task.
Aici putem avea o discutie pe 2-3 planuri daca introducem termenul GAMIFICATION,
1. Mai intai putem discuta despre ludic - despre joc - in faza de creatie (Despre el ne vorbea Titus Mocanu la curs acum o suta de ani). Atunci cand jucam un joc acesta trebuie sa aiba reguli simple. Orice joc, fie ca este sah, rugby sau tabinet are un set de reguli simple pentru a atinge obiectivele jocului. Atingand obiectivul primesti o recompensa simbolica.
Jocurile individuale ca si cele colective sunt pentru satisfactia personala si cea a echipei tale. Un joc este un sistem care motiveaza. O idee incurajeaza alta idee apoi urmeaz cooperarea, colaborarea dorinta de a te angaja.
2. In categoria jocurilor GAMIFICATION introducem si aplicatiile pe mobil sau nu pe care le prescurtez apps. Sunt milioane de apps. Apple store, si Google store, au fiecare peste un milion de aplicatii fiecare, iar numarul lor este in crestere. Vedem aici sensul comun dat Gamification - In sensul comun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification
Gamification presupune sa folosesti modalitatile de rationament ale jocurilor si mecanica jocurilor in contexte non-game si sa angajezi utilizatorii in a rezolva probleme si in a creste propria contributie a utilizatorilor.

3. As vedea GAMIFICATION ca o modalitate de lucru cu angajatii individual sau cu grupele de angajati. Ar fi ideal si genial daca reusim sa transformam sarcinile complexe intr-un joc de strategie iar cele simple ca intr-un apps de smartphone.
Am ideea acestei extrapolari gandind ca orice problema de matematica, orice joc de societate, orice noua masina de cusut sau dulapior de bricolaj pe care il aduci de la magazin cu un set de instructiuni de montaj/folosire este ca un JOC pentru ca are niste reguli precise ce trebuiesc respectate, un scop final, si o recompensa la atingerea scopului. Patronii care reusesc sa manipuleze angajatii sa lucreze dupa niste reguli clare dar care le permit angajatilor modalitati proprii de exprimare au mult de castigat din asta.
Inchei cu un alt fragment din aceiasi carte:
Big games and little ones: go to school, get a job,find a mate, get promoted. Navigate across town on public transportation, make a souffle that doesnt fall, or buy a present for a friend that really makes him smile. Game is just a word for a system that motivates. In thinking of our tasks as games, we may strive to achieve them in less time or to achieve better results. And thinking of tasks as games can make them into ongoing cycles of improvement. You grasp one idea, particularly one that has long been elusive to you, and pretty soon, you have another idea. Ideas build on one another; they encourage cooperation, collaboration, a desire to learn new things, and even the desire to engage with one another. Making shopping into a game has been a core tool of marketing and advertising for a century: search for the special offer, time limited discounts, or offers only available to the firstX number of people — these are all ways of creating a system thatmotivates you to purchase, in other words, a game. Companiesincreasingly see that work can also be given game qualities, with many side benefits—increased employee morale, improved productivity, and increasing quality. And it is not just marketers and employers trying to manipulate us, we even do this to ourselves, making our tasks and activities into games, now with the help of apps and our ubiquitous smartphones. We have become a nation, a globe, enamored with apps. Tens of billions of applications have been installed by smartphone users over the past few years. Apps have everything: easy-to-understand rules, incredibly important functionality,flexible interaction, and instant reward
UPDATE 1: Desi scopul articolului este sa schimbam absolut toata structura intr-un joc, avem aici un articol despre Gamification propriu-zisa.
