To be honest I feel I’m repeating all the stuff from our team entry in this post. This week we were more worried to meet the Canada team that to actually research some academic materials. However, we did researched some gamificated applications:

  • Duolingo: mobile app for learning languages. Each time you take your daily session you get rewarded with points.
  • Snapchat: social network. When you send a snap to a friend for more than three consecutive days, you get “on fire”.
  • Challenge timer: productivity app. It uses the Pomodoro technique, with some RPG elements.
  • Byju’s: learning application. Makes quizzes a lot funnier.
  • Khan Academy: learning application. Teaches many things, and has a “character level” to encourage learning. This is my personal favorite on the list.
