Methodology (Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications)

 Kappen, D., Johannsmeier, J., Nacke, L.,(2013) Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications. Stratford, Ontario, Canada, October 2-4, 2013. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2583008.2583034

 Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications 

To explore gamification in task-management applications, the authors investigated two memory-aid task-manager apps.

Selection of Gamified task-management app (Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications)

Choose subject population (Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications) 

After 4 days of use of the apps, a survey consisting of 60 questions in total was conducted. Responses to the questionnaire items were indicated using a 7-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7). Authors compared responses of players to using TH and EW as a gamification application instead of using their standard task manager 


Conduct Survey (Deconstructing ‘Gamified’ Task-Management Applications)

The aim of the interview session was to obtain a better perspective on the challenges, frustrations and fun experienced by the participants in using these apps.
