Gamification is transforming the classroom environment and creating experiences that your students want to be engaged in.

Deliberate Fun: A Purposeful Application of Game Mechanics to Learning Experiences provides a framework for fun, giving faculty scientifically valid, practical, applicable processes for adding game mechanics to learning programs. This book offers a balance between an explanation of scientific profiles, gamification philosophy, and practical application, realizing that readers can be motivated by different aspects of a topic.
