The first day the project coordinator informed the participants with the basic information about what gamification is and what elements are to be considered for a concept of games. She also disseminated an article by Lee, J.J. & Hammer,
J.,Gamifiacation in Education: What, How, Why Bother?, 2011, Academic Exchance Quaterly, 15(2). The participants were summoned to read the article after which a nationwise group contest could be held. This induced however neither winners nor losers. Of course the discussions were followed by reflections on how game design, or rather game designs, could serve as a base for gamification. Already some first examples were given.
