Upon completion of the module, the student is able to:
* Understand the relationship between games and motivation, and the framing of games and play in relation to the everyday context;
* Understand approaches to design a behavior and game mechanisms as part of a system;
* Apply gamification in the craft of experiences and transformations.

* Key components and types of gamification in context of experiences and transformations
* Game mechanics in non-game setting
* Principles for gamification in experiences and transformations
* Core drivers of gamification for meaninful experiences
* Player types and motivators
* Stages of gamers life-cycle
* Role playing

The learning goals of this course can be reached in the following ways:
1. Lectures and related assignments as full-time studies
2. Participation in a working life project or another project
3. Learning assignment(s) and class discussions. If you already know the contents of this course, you can show your skills. Ask the teacher of the course for more information. For more information on identifying competencies: https://www.haaga-helia.fi/fi/osaamisen-tunnistaminen-ja-work-study

All materials will be provided in Moodle.

This course is for those who want to dig deeper into gamification theories and tools and explore their connection to experiences and transformations. You will have a chance apply game mechanics in a non-game setting and create as well as prototype memorable gamified experience for the guests.

In this course learning activities include a global perspective and internationally recognized resources and concepts are applied.

No previous studies needed and no binding connections to other courses. This course is part of EXPER path studies.
