Gamification (It's time for playing and learning!)

Last week, both Marcos and Mike started talking about Gamification. They provided us with an overall view of this type of method which implies applying game feautures and mechanics to a non-game situation in order to encourage people to take part in this dynamics, other than boosting their engagement. The concept is too wide and it encompasses a lot of concepts, strategies to be used, etc. Therefore, we could learn that it is a pretty suitable way of making people participate and interact (within an educational and non-educational backdrop). Gamification, hence, is everywhere!
