(and socially) constructs meaning as he or she learns.”
– George E. Hein
Gamification Principles
Well-ordered problems
“early problems are designed to lead players to form good guesses about how to proceed when they face harder problems
later on in the game”– James Paul Gee
Pleasantly frustrating challenges
“players feel the game is challenging but doable and that their effort is paying off”
– James Paul Gee
Just-in-time information
“players do not need to read a manual to start”
– James Paul Gee
