 Finally, we get to the heart of the matter. We start by introducing the term gamification, what many (most?) people think about when they hear it, and then explaining what gamification ACTUALLY is/should be. We connect the dots between what is needed as we have outlined it in the previous chapter, and how gamification fits the bill. We do that by drawing on Reigeluth’s New Paradigm and reframing gamification within that context. We will also expand on what we mean by cumulative grading, what we gain by relaxing deadlines, and some ways to encourage creativity by adjusting our assessment practices. Finally, we get to the heart of the matter.
