Transforming the Library through Gamification (ALA Editions Workshop) A 90-minute workshop, Wednesday, May 6, 2015, 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific Gamification is not about playing games-it's about taking the theories and principles behind games and applying them to the professional world to increase staff participation and efficiency. In this workshop, Bohyun Kim, an expert on library systems management, will demonstrate how gamification can be applied to a wide variety of library services. She will help you examine the application of gamification for education and libraries; improve existing gamification projects; or design new gamification projects - either as a marketing, engagement, or pedagogical tool in libraries. Using both business and library real-world examples, she will explain how these basic principles can help you transform your services and staff from the reference desk to the break room! By the end of this workshop, you will: * Understand why gamification is an important trend to continue with to make a significant impact on education and libraries * Gain familiarity with a number of examples of gamification in businesses, education, and libraries and be able to use them as a reference point in developing your own gamification ideas * Gain a conceptual understanding of gamification and the three building blocks of gamification (game mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics) and how they work together to generate increased engagement and motivation * Understand several important variables in designing and implementing gamification successfully and build an awareness of the relevant critiques directed at gamification used as a pedagogical tool SLG: Have any of you used gamification in a Hebraica/Judaica setting? What resources have you used? You may wish to share your expertise and experience on list.
