Gamification for Practitioners

Overview

This dynamic and interdisciplinary short course is designed to equip participants with the theoretical foundations and practical tools to design and implement gamification strategies that drive engagement, motivation, and behaviour change. This course bridges the gap between academic research and real-world application, offering a unique blend of psychological theory, design frameworks, and industry case studies. Participants will explore the core principles of gamification, including commonly used gamification and motivational frameworks such as Octalysis and Self-Determination Theory. The course emphasises how these frameworks can be applied across diverse sectors to create meaningful and measurable outcomes. This course draws from theory, lived experience, and real-world case studies to equip participants with the tools and mindset to apply gamification meaningfully.
