With the popularization of smartphones and the development of digital technologies, new concepts that maximize interactive communication have begun to appear in marketing strategies. One of them is the gamification marketing strategy that combines games with marketing that induces customer interest and voluntary participation. Gamification is a compound word of 'game' and '-fication', and marketing cases using game formats are being implemented in various fields. Therefore, this study will identify the implications of the usage of gamification that has become a trend, and analyze the gamification techniques and factors shown in various cases to suggest the direction of gamification as an effective marketing strategy. Companies are actively using gamification in their marketing strategies in a variety of forms and apply gamification techniques such as challenge, competition, accomplishment, reward, and relationship. As a result of the case analysis, important factors commonly identified in the gamification techniques used in marketing are 'Accomplishment' and 'Rreward'. Using various products and benefits obtained through solving a given mission or task as game elements, it was found to be an effective strategy to induce consumers' interest and participation and to promote consumption by encouraging consumers' immersion.

Recently, on-line users prefer image and sense that are deviated from standardization pattern. Also, they need instant and mutual exchangeable communication forms. Developing the various Avatars is required to apply it to various situations. It is due to that the Avatar is used as a card in the on-line communication to represent the user's character visually. The Avatar in the on-line game, such as poker or go-stop which are the most popular nowadays, does not have different character from general community site. Therefore, it dose not satisfy owner who needs sensitive and various character of the Avatar. In this paper, we will be analysis the card game Avatar service, character and desire of the user in existing game petal sites. Also, we'll provide service method which can satisfy the user's requirements. For this, we survey recognition and design preference of users on the card game Avatar.

Immersion means the state of total devotion to what one is involved in. The typical form of this immersion experience happens when one is engaging in computer games. We analyze how the users became immersed in computer games. There are 22 elements of immersion involved in cognitive and emotional fun based cm the flow theory. After analyzing these elements with respect to flow dimension and game mechanics, we find that there are differences in the degree of their immersion in games. There are 7 elements that may be considered preferentially in designing computer games: unity, stimulation, gambling, virtual reality, fantasy, satisfaction accomplishment. We match these elements to Roget's categories and search for new categories with heading information and reference information. As a result 22 immersion elements are subdivided into 229 factors in the concrete. With these factors, we can design a multimedia game which has mon powerful immersion.

ADL SCORM(Sharable Content Object Reference Model) has been widely accepted as a global reference model for standardizing e-learning technology, and SCORM 2004 4th Edition, a stable version of SCORM, gives content developers the efficient way to build interoperable and reusable e-learning contents. Recently, a number of research efforts have been taken to build on-line SCORM contents based on some traditional training or learning styles. However, they have lacked for supporting more sophisticated learning style such as game based learning, and especially they do not consider employing the specific components of SCORM model for developing game based learning contents in practice. In this work, we elicit some SCORM data elements that is useful for representing game run-time data, and apply those elements to SCORM sequencing of game based learning SCOs(Sharable Content Objects). We thus present the whole procedure of developing SCORM game based learning contents with a sample contents.

This study aims to investigate the gamification effect of the badge awards, the most popular gamification process, on users participation behavior. This study also attempts to investigate the effect of tailored gamification, which designs the system of gamification differently based on users' characteristics, focusing on the level of online user information disclosure. For this, we collect and analyze data on 557 users and 1,048,020 answers from StackOverflow, an online Q&A community for developers. The results show that providing a badge is effective for increasing the amount of user participation, whereas providing a goal through the badge is partially effective for increasing the quality of participation. However, the moderating effect of whether users disclose their SNS information on the relationship between badge gaining and participation decrease is not statistically significant. For platform operators, our findings emphasize the importance of gamification design to enhance user engagement effectively.
