About the Book

This is a very short and simple starter on Gamification. Described as "A great primer" and "Gamification for Dummies", this is aimed at people who have not yet dipped their toes into this most fascinating of subjects. Written in plain English, Gamification: A Simple Introduction, is based on months of writing and research into what makes gamification so important. In this eBook I aim to answer some key questions; What is Gamification? Why would I want to use it? How can I start to implement it? Are badges and trophies all there is to it? What is Motivation?

If you already know about Gamification, then this may not be the book for you. However, you may still find a few useful thoughts in here.
