Time allotment: Due by August 1st

Topic: Gaming and Gamification

Target length: 40-50 pages

How is video gaming (online and on consoles) currently being utilized? By whom? How can we expect it to be utilized in the future?

How is gaming going to affect the future?

How will true immersive virtual reality affect gaming in the future?

What are some current examples of effective uses of gamification in changing societal behavior?

How could gamification of businesses, societies, education, and collaborative projects affect the future?

Purpose: We plan to use this research to highlight the importance of gamification and gaming in the future. We will then use this information in reports and presentations for a variety of different industries and audiences.

Structure: Research should be organized in a logical, concise manner. Bullet points should summarize the main points of the reference you’re citing. Any important stats or shocking facts should definitely be included in the bullet points. Don’t forget to include a hyperlink to each citation. References should all be relatively new. Data before 2006 is generally not relevant, unless it relates to a prediction that was made in that time period that became true later.

Notes: Wherever “gaming” is mentioned, we mean video games online and on consoles, not gambling or any other form of gaming.
