Clark Quinn
JULY 27, 2021

‘pointsification’
Harold Jarche
JULY 20, 2021
In 2013 I wrote that work is already a game. Adding badges or other extrinsic motivators to professional learning only detracts from the real game. Gamification also creates incentives that, when removed, may result in going back to previous behaviours.
