Background

This section provides a critical introduction to social gaming elements, team-work, gaming mechanics, non-gaming environments and pursuing learning activities. In practical terms, the background section focuses on providing an explanation of current approaches used to support gamification elements within a social/community context. Again, clearly there is a large amount of work currently taking place into this area but there is no single solution which provides one solution that is tailored to all.
