Developing a Theory of Gamified Learning (2014, background): “…extracted only the assessment and rules/ goals attributes of games for use on their client’s website to influence customer behavior, an approach that has been criticized as ultimately ineffective because it lacks other meaningful game elements supporting long-term value (Nicholson, 2012).”

Gamifying learning experiences: Practical implications and outcomes (2013, background): “…to the students, not limiting the system to extrinsic rewards like achievements and badges, as suggested by Deterding in his presentation “Meaningful Play: Getting gamification right”,5 and by Nicholson in his User-Centered Theoretical Framework for Meaningful Gamification (Nicholson, 2012).”
