Description: Just my thoughts or ramblings on gamification for ALC203.

A good phrase - gamification can only be a 'stepping stone', and requires student agency to come into play before it can start to work. I'd encourage you to have a look over the Study Notes as gamification can be many things and it sounds a little like you see it as a homogenous phenomenon... sooo many different examples to look at - enjoy! :)

Episode 02 - Gone Home

In a smaller “lockpick" episode, we take a look at the new awkwardly named game Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n. The game (available for iOS and Android) pretends to be a messaging app like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger. 

Set in the world of the TV show Mr. Robot, you take on the role of a hacker specializing in social engineering. It’s a choose your own adventure style experience where you decide whether and how to blackmail and coerce your way into systems. 

Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n serves as an interesting exploration into how chatbots or other text interfaces might be useful in training and experiential learning.

Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltrati0n is $2.99, available for both iOS and Android:
