A design of distributed brainstorming support tool with gamification elements

This paper describes the design of a distributed brainstorming support tool focusing on gamification. In previous studies, there are very few studies focused on continuous creative activities. Gamification elements in the distributed brainstorming tool are aimed at maintaining intrinsic motivation toward continuous creative activities. The activities for gamification elements are earning points by idea generation, create a avatar with the earned points, and competing with other players for total points. We show interface design of gamification for distributed brainstorming, and then describe a plan of control experiments to demonstrate hypothetical effects of the gamification, such as maintenance of idea generation by intrinsic motivation.
