Knowledge Management, the EPSS and Badges

I had to make a podcast for class, and I chose to talk about badges to drive development and participation in an EPSS for Knowledge Management.

Here’s the podcast:

The podcast is the fourth in an imaginary series dealing with Knowledge Management for Education environments, the EPSS, tools with which to do it, and so on.

Here’s a link to the accompanying website, and I decided to make a Twitter account as well just for kicks.

Update: [March 29, 2014] My opinion on gamification has certainly evolved. While gamification provides some great external motivation, mere use of badges, leaderboards and points has its drawbacks. Next week I’m releasing my literature review on gamification and academic performance. Stay tuned!
