Mailing List

To make it easier to share information, discuss key research concerns and network with similarly-minded scholars, we have set up a mailing list with Google Groups. The group is private, but open to subscription for any researcher interested in studying the use of game design elements in non-game contexts. So if that fits your bill, please join! (Upon subscription, you will be asked to briefly state your research involvement in the topic.)

Rules

The gamification research network mailing list is operated and managed by the list manager, Sebastian Deterding. The list manager reserves the right to remove subscribers and/or refuse subscription at any time without warning or explanation. We would very much prefer not to exercise this right and will not need to if subscribers comply with the list rules. In subscribing to this mailing list and remaining subscribed to it, you are agreeing to adhere to these rules:

Diverse opinions are welcome. We welcome people from a wide variety of professional, disciplinary, methodological, and national traditions. List participants are expected to respect these differences. We ask that you maintain a tone of civility and use good judgment in your posts: disagreements are to be expected, but blatant rudeness, personal attacks, lack of respect, and monopolization of the list to further one’s own agenda are not expected nor will they be tolerated.

Anonymous subscriptions and posts are not allowed. In order to help maintain the list as a valuable resource for everyone, you must identify yourself by your real full name when you subscribe and when you post to the list, and you should be prepared to verify your identity upon request. This will normally occur upon subscription.

No purely commercial activity. This mailing list is for sharing and discussing academic and industry research. Promotions of research publications, job announcements for research positions, and RFPs for research projects are fine. Beyond that, please, no job offers, advertisements of your service or product, or similar.

Respect privacy. You must reply to private email privately, and you may not forward personal email to the mailing list without the author’s permission. In forwarding email from the mailing list to others or redistributing it publically, be mindful of its intended audience: Would you as an author of that mail be happy to see it fowarded (e.g. fowarding CFPs is fine, personal statements not so much)? When in doubt, ask first.

Stay on-topic. Keep in mind that anything you send to the list automatically goes to all subscribers – please keep posts on-topic for the list.

Privacy

Remember when posting to the list that your words will be available to everyone subscribed to the list via email and in an archive. This list and its archive are not accessible to persons not subscribed to the list. However, messages sent via email can easily be reproduced and circulated beyond their originally intended audience, and neither the list manager nor the server’s host are responsible for consequences arising from list messages being re-distributed.

Disclaimer

Unless otherwise indicated, opinions expressed in messages on the mailing list are those of the authors. This is an unmoderated list.

(Taken with amendments from the AoIR mailing list.)

One thought on “Mailing List

  1. I am seeking a grant proposal reviewer for the National Science Foundation who has experience in research on gamification, badges, and who may also be comfortable reviewing other types of proposals supporting projects (like robotics) used in afterschool and other informal education contexts.  If you are interested, please send me an email (and vita) to rlrussel@nsf.gov
    @nsf:disqus 
    The grant review session is upcoming in March and would require travel to the Washington, DC area. 

    Otherwise, if you interested in the Advances in Informal Science Learning program, which supports a variety of research and development on learning science and technology outside the classroom, please contact me.
