Gamification Fake /4

Is MoDes brand new?

No. It existed in a qualitative version

@leosorge

The Loyalty programs

AQualitative

Approach

Theory-based, few unstructured data, static view, long feedback time

@leosorge

Social-based programs

AQuantitative

Approach

BigData-based, great analytics, real-time feedback

@leosorge

Data-Based Approach

● rich data sets/big data● connected people (social/phones) ● real time feedback● short tuning loops

Videogames provided consistent, rich data sets as first digital platform

@leosorge

The Media Pattern

GameGamification

Serious GamingSerious business

Wrong etimology

@leosorge

The Correct Pattern IMHO● Qualitative analysis > Qualitative Motivational Design● Rich data sets > Gamification● Big Data > Quantitative Motivational Design

Correct history
