What is Gamification Time?
Gamification: The use of game elements in non-game situations to create motivating and engaging real-life experiences
Are you interested in discovering more about using Gamificaton and Serious Games to create engaging real-life experiences? Me too!
Hi there. I’m Steven Markham and I became interested in Gamification and Serious Games several years ago whilst working at the University of Chester on the ‘Break Down or Break Out‘ project.
I created Gamification Time to gather my thoughts and ideas on Gamification, Gameful Design and Serious Games which I will be sharing in this blog and on my Social Media accounts.
I passionately believe that there is great potential in applying the principles of gaming to real-life problems and situations and making this world a better place.
