The official website for the international Design for Experience awards is up and running!

Today we’re excited to announce that the official awards showcase site for the Design for Experience awards is live!

We announced winners in the DfE awards here last week, but the official awards site gives you the opportunity to dig deeper into each winning application. From the beginning we crafted this awards program to be a learning resource for the experience design community, and the awards site marks the first step turning the results of the competition into a shared learning tool.

The winners in each category were chosen in large part based on what the UX community can learn from their achievements, and later this week, we’ll make the finalists’ applications visible as well. Starting next week, we will begin exploring the results in each category through a series of articles here in UX Magazine.

We want these materials to be as insipiring and informative as possible and welcome thoughtful community engagement.

Gamification 2.0. Beyond Points and Badges: Designing for Players, Not Metrics. Conclusion
  • Most apps use gamification as a manipulation layer to drive metrics, but people engage with things that are truly worthy of their time, not points or streak guilt.
  • Apps that people stick with do this by designing for intrinsic motivation, making the experience itself rewarding.
  • The true measure of success is whether users feel more capable, accomplished, and enriched for having used your app.

For researchers, AI tools are making the move from advising to building easier than ever. But the real obstacle was never technical. Meet the researchers who allowed themselves to create — and what the cost was.

Article by James Lang
The New Makers
  • The article says that becoming a maker as a researcher is less about learning new tools or skills and more about giving yourself a new identity, and that without fixing the internal permission structures that define your swim lane, even the most democratized AI tools won’t turn a researcher into a maker — you don’t have a founder; you have a frustrated advisor with a prototype.

Learn why authentic gamification is rooted in game genres rather than just collecting badges.

Article by Montgomery Singman
Gamification 2.0. Beyond Points and Badges: Designing for Players, Not Metrics. Chapter 5: Implementation
  • The article says that successful gamification is picking a game genre that fits your app’s core activities and user psychology, building satisfying intrinsic loops before adding extrinsic rewards, and iterating nonstop, and that without these foundations, you don’t have gamification; you have a progress bar that has a terminal point.
