Kevin Werbach Shares the Story of the Most Successful Gamification MOOC Ever at GSummit SF 2013
Surely you must’ve heard of Kevin Werbach’s Coursera Course on gamification? (The next Coursera semester starts Jan 27th 2014)
Gamification is a hot growth industry, with billions of dollars in revenue and thousands of new jobs set to be created in the next decade. To accomplish this, organizations of all kinds will need to train and educate leaders of tomorrow on this critical discipline. But how do you teach a topic where core concepts are in a state of flux, examples and patterns are evolving rapidly and learners expect the entire experience to be fun and rewarding? Join Professor Werbach, teacher of the massively successful #Gamification12 MOOC as he discusses the hard-won lessons of teaching Gamification — and how this understanding can make any training, education or development process more successful for your organization. In this GSummit 2013 video expect to learn
- Opportunities and dangers in the gamification of learning.
- Techniques for effective gamification in educational settings.
- How game thinking produced the highest engagement rates of any course on the Coursera massive online platform. (It’s not what you think!)

I attended the course on gamification in Coursera. It was excellent!
I’m signed up for the January course!
I had watched the first 2 weeks videos, couldn’t catch up the rest ones because they were no longer available.
He is a great professor, great lectures, clearly and simply fantastic.
Signed up for the next one, can’t wait for that :3
I did keep asking myself “why do things change on the shelve?” It turns out that it is his way to gamify the course 😉 WOW
