“Gamification” is an informal umbrella term for the use of video game elements in non-gaming systems to improve user experience (UX) and user engagement. (game elements:points, badges, levels and leader boards)
In this study, I want to explore how to use gamification properly in user experience design process to improve user engagement. And investigate the relationship between game elements and user engagement in a design context.
