In 2010, Kim reworked Bartle's Player Types Model. is a leading consultant on gamification as a business model to increase customer engagement. Much to Bartle's amusement, his model has been used as a template for non-game environments, like website design and social media platforms. MUDs predate multi-player online games with 3D graphics (like World of Warcraft). This model was originally intended for text-based multi-user dungeon (MUD) games that were popular in the 1990s (think Ultima II or Zork).
Achievers: those who build up their in-game status.Killers: those who act against other game players.Game designer and professor Richard Bartle created an x, y axis detailing four types of people that interact in virtual worlds. Gamification dates back to the 1996 publication of Bartle's Player Types Model. In gaming terms, I decided to go on a quest. To truly understand gamification, I realized that I needed to understand the process of game design. notes that badges "support learners to give language to and value what they are learning, by offering names for their new competencies and providing a venue that recognizes their importance."Īs a teacher, I assumed that game design had more to do with coding than the study of human behavior. Awarding badges for academic accomplishments is a method to gamify the education.
After all, engaging a student intrinsically in the learning process, rather than with extrinsic motivators like grades, is the goal of every teacher. Gamification in the classroom has many benefits, too.
