The ‘Reputation Point‘ functionality in SharePoint 2013 provides an essential building block for a great GAMIFICATION strategy within your organization. So this week, Thuan‘s question is based around gamification…
What type of game would you like to implement in SharePoint to improve adoption and collaboration of your end-users ?
(for example, Football prediction game: every user has its own account (Active Directory) to predict the result of a game in a Premier league 2013-2014 and after the game, if their prediction are correct then they get points. We will have some gifts for top 3 scores ;-))
Win-an-eBook Wednesdays is a small three day contest that we hold every week. The Prize? An O’reilly eBook for your choice! Furthermore, if you win, you also get the chance to ask the community whatever question you want and be the judge for next week’s contest!
This week’s judge is Thuan winner of last week’s contest!
You have until Sunday, May 26th (10pm GMT) to answer this question!
Great question (and I would recommend this post to others before answering). I assume you can also plug in other point scoring functions. Are there any API hooks ?
Anyway, to answer this question has actually got me thinking!! As you know I work as at an ISV who develop “DocRead for SharePoint” (which allows you to send out docs and ask users to sign-off that they have read them. Getting staff to read docs is a REAL bind for most organizations, usually because the docs are dull, long, boring but unfortunately essential.
So … how fantastic would it be to plug in a system where we reward users with “points” when they complete their reading tasks early ? For those that are overdue, we could deduct points (if that’s possible).
Got me thinking now and I am adding the task to our Trello board! Now, if only we new whether to invest effort into SP social in it’s current form, or to wait for Yammer!
