Maybe We Don’t Need a New Gamification Framework After All

Abstract

Gamification is widely known and implemented for various purposes. But it is also criticized for recurring lack of quality. Many researchers developed gamification frameworks and tools to ensure a purposeful gamification, but these theoretical frameworks are used by less than half of gamification research. There are numerous gamification frameworks and it is difficult to find a specific one. Our research aims to tackle this problem by providing a fast and easy process, that allows finding a gamification framework for a specific use case. We want to achieve this, by identifying selection and quality criteria and developing a method to match these criteria to a gamification framework. Succeeding this we will develop a tool, that allows the user to identify the most suited gamification frameworks for any combination of the selection criteria.
