When I'm creating anything or writing to connect with people, I keep this framework— the Octalysis Principle— in mind. Especially if you want a person to take an action after experiencing your content, this theory will serve you well, so it's worth learning a little bit about. I'm excited to introduce you to Yu-kia Chou's Octalysis Framework so you begin to think about how to design things to serve a higher intent... that of the human consuming it. Applying gamification and behavioral design techniques to craft experiences that delight humans applies to real-world applications for products, services, educational/instructional design, corporate training/onboarding, and more. "Gamification is the craft of deriving all the fun and engaging elements found in games and applying them to real-world or productive activities." In this video, I intro and briefly explain the 8 core drives that motivate humans to take action as outlined in Yu-kai's formula. They represent both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators in people, and I mention there is also a black hat vs. white hat component to it as well. Here are the 8 Core Drives: 1- Higher Meaning and Calling 2- Accomplishment and Reward 3- Empowerment and Creativity 4- Ownership and Possession 5- Social Influence and Relatedness 6- Scarcity and Impatience 7- Unpredictability and Curiosity 8- Loss and Avoidance Check out Yu-Kai's Octalysis Prime Here: https://island.octalysisprime.com/#!/...
