Unplugged Gamification: towards a definition

By Carina Soledad González González

Abstract

“Gamification research area has been a consolidated topic since 2011 when the main definition appeared. Despite many academic documents reporting evidence in the field of gamification in education and frameworks to design the gamification process, only a few of them are focused on unplugged educational contexts. So, in this paper, we are focused on the definition of unplugged gamification, considering previous research and proposals from the education field. The evidence shows that the field is still in its infancy, and more research is needed to determine and evidence the pros or cons of this kind of gamification (unplugged gamification) compared to gamification supported with technologies (plugged gamification).”
