Leveling Up: My Next Move
Hey friends โ€” hereโ€™s the big update I teased ๐Ÿ‘€ After years of teaching, using, and admiring the Octalysis Frameworkโ€ฆ Iโ€™ve officially joined The Octalysis Group as Head of Engagement Strategy in Europe! ๐Ÿ™Œ This wasnโ€™t a quick decision. It came after deep conversations, time with the full team, and realizing just how aligned we are in purpose and mission. The retreat in Dubai sealed the deal. But donโ€™t worry โ€” Professor Game stays independent. The podcast continues, free as ever, and focused on what itโ€™s always been about: making gamification practical, ethical, and effective. Iโ€™m beyond excited โ€” and super grateful to have this community here to share it with. ๐Ÿ™ If you want to talk about how this might apply to what youโ€™re building, just DM me โ€œCHAT.โ€ Letโ€™s gooo ๐Ÿš€

This is a truly epic win for both you and the Octalysis team.
What I want to gameify (lesson 2 post)
So since alot of what I do is actually playing games with people being able to gameify my certification program would be a powerful expansion to the current process in place. Currently it acts as a funnel to craft and mold my own future contactors and possible employees so making it feel more game like would be interesting to say the least.

This is an interesting use case. I am curious what the participants initial motivation to start the certification is and why they are not progressing. Look forward to learning more about this project.
Anyone still using Kahoot?
I know Kahoot is like frequently used and there was a hyped of it in the gaming literature, but anyone still uses Kahoot? If so, how and when do use Kahoot? If you have alternative to Kahoot, feel free to share :)

Since it looks like there has already been some discussion of using it in the elementary/primary school space, I'll add that it is used with adults still. I remember a few medical schools finding it effective for knowledge checks and the competitive aspects works well with this high-achiever audience that also needs to really retain the knowledge. As Rob mentioned I have used Mentimeter more often but it really depends upon the audience I am working with and what type of interaction I want to create.
Speeding Lottery | Gamification Example
This is one of my favorite applications of gamification. From 14 years ago and I'm not sure if it has been implemented anywhere.

@Mathew Georghiou Agreed. This is a classic. And the real power is that the lottery component ensures that the appropriate rewards, punishments, and social pressures are used.

Hi, I'm Valary and I live at the intersection of gamification, creativity, distance education and business. I run workshops, online courses, present talks, and generally try to help people. I also work as a project manager at an international law firm, am on the board of directors at the United States Distance Learning Association, and am a caretaker for a family member. Occasionally I sleep. lol
