Найти книгу: "The Gamification of Work"

Despite the traditional opposition between play and work, games and their structure are increasingly used in workplaces. This phenomenon of using game elements or mechanisms in other contexts than games is named “gamification”. In workplaces, the gamification is supposed to abolish the separation between work and leisure or between constraint and pleasure. This book reviews a century of game theories in the social sciences and analyzes the uses of games in workplaces. We critically question the explicit functions (learning, experimentation…) which are supposed to be conveyed by games. Finally, we show that game, understood as a structure, could have efficient social functions in the workplace.

ЭКСПЕРТНЫЙ ВЫПУСК. Илья Курылёв входит в число, уже ставшей легендарной, команды создателей LinguaLeo. Приобретенный опыт позволил ему стать главным экспертом игрофикации России и создать компанию Gamification-Now. Сейчас Илья активно помогает стартапам и консультирует крупные компании на предмет использования игровых механик в бизнесе. В ПРОГРАММЕ: – Игры это потраченное время и испорченное зрение или шаг к будущей профессии? – Игрофикация (геймифмкация) – WTF? – Зачем компании игровые механики? – Игрофикация – это развлечение или деньги? – Игры на работе – это новинка? А как же Соцсоревнования? – А где деньги?

Сегодня мы поговорим с Ильем Курылевым, основателем проекта Gamification Now. Геймификация, технологии привыкания и зависимости очень хорошо освоены игровым рынком: большинство из нас хот бы раз сталкивались с тем, что в ту или иную игру невозможно перестать играть. В обычных приложениях (сервисных, утилитарных, брендовых и т.д.) это встречается далеко не так часто. А если и встречается, то часто механика была создана неосознанно. Я хочу разобраться как раз в том, как встроить геймификацию в неигровые приложения осознанно и управляемо и зачем это делать.

A survival guide for the FinTech era of banking FinTech Innovation examines the rise of financial technology and its growing impact on the global banking industry. Wealth managers are standing at the epicenter of a tectonic shift, as the balance of power between offering and demand undergoes a dramatic upheaval.

It provides the right amount of academic evidence, practical advice and insightful design tips to have you creating impactful learning in no time.» —SHERRY ENGEL, associate director learning technology, Penn Medicine Center for Innovation and Learning «What Karl Kapp has done with this book is looked at games and learning from every possible angle....he provocatively asks questions that the learning community needs to answer, like 'Do our design processes still work?' and 'Are we really meeting the needs of today's learners?'
