What is gamification and how can it be used to enhance the learning experience? Gamification "involves applying game design to non-game applications to make them more fun and engaging." The challenge is that in the context of the library, people often do not associate it as being "fun" or "engaging." Adding gaming elements may increase attention, interest and overall library experience. Learn more about gamification in libraries and get lots of ideas from the real-world examples shared.
