Gamification in Moodle
Over the last few years we’ve heard a lot about gamification (not a word I like) in Moodle.
Like any teaching method, it’s good to have an understanding of the strength, weaknesses, and techniques that can be used, and this ISSUU GameiT handbook is quite a nice primer

The gamification trend is Moodle has been largely brought about by the addition of certain functionality, such as Open Badges, activity completion, and conditional activities, and I notice there are session on gamification at the upcoming iMoot and the Australian Moodle Moot.
