During the periods of social isolation to contain the advance of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, educational institutions have had the challenge to adopt technological strategies not only to ensure continuity in students’ classes, but also to support their mental health in a period of uncertainty and health risks. Loneliness is an emotional distress caused by the lack of meaningful social connections; it has increasingly affected young adults worldwide during the pandemic's social isolation and still bears psychological effects in the current post-pandemic period. In the light of this challenge, the Nonenliness App was developed as a way to bring together university communities to address issues related to loneliness and mental health disorders through a gamified and social online environment. In this paper, we present the app and its main functionalities (Beta version) and discuss the preliminary results of a pilot clinical study conducted with university students in Germany (N = 12) to verify the app's efficacy and usability, alongside the challenges faced and the next steps to be taken regarding the platform's improvement.
In dem Artikel von Dr. Oliver Korn, Belinda Janine Hagley und Annika Sabrina Schulz zur Gamification werden zunächst theoretische Grundlagen für spielbasiertes Lernen im Kontext der Motivations‐ und Persönlichkeitsforschung dargestellt. Anschließend werden eine Auswahl wirksamer Gamification‐Elemente aufgezeigt und beispielhaft drei gamifizierte Anwendungen aus den Bereichen Interne Kommunikation und Onboarding, Produktion sowie Aus‐ und Weiterbildung vorgestellt. Ziel ist es, den nutzerzentrierten Einsatz gamifizierter Lernprozesse sowie deren Implementierung in betriebliche Strukturen aufzuzeigen, um die Akzeptanz spielerischer Lernsysteme zu fördern und nachhaltig motivierend zu wirken.
