TL;DR
The guidelines and main features of a social gamification framework to be applied in an existent K-6 social learning environment and how to apply it in education are presented.
Abstract
As video games, particularly, social games are growing in popularity and number of users, there has been an increasing interest in its potential as innovative teaching tools. Gamification is a new concept intending to use elements from video games in non-game applications. Education is an area with high potential for application of this concept since it seeks to promote people’s motivation and engagement. The research in progress will try to find how to apply social gamification in education, testing and validating the results of that application. To fulfil these objectives, this paper presents the guidelines and main features of a social gamification framework to be applied in an existent K-6 social learning environment.

From game design elements to gamefulness
7,824 Citations2011Sebastian Deterding, Dan Dixon +2 more
A definition of "gamification" is proposed as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts and it is suggested that "gamified" applications provide insight into novel, gameful phenomena complementary to playful phenomena.

Based on sub-cellular localization experiments, it is concluded that IBABP-L is targeted to the secretory pathway by a 24-residue signal peptide and, upon its cleavage, the mature protein is constitutively released into the extracellular space.
