@inproceedings{ls_leimeister, abstract = {Digitalization has opened new opportunities but also brought new challenges such as lower engagement of students in online training. Especially learning videos need to be changed in their design and structure to make them more engaging for users. So far, overarching design principles are missing that support the development of gamified learning videos. In our research in progress paper we present an overarching approach on how to develop meaningful gamified learning videos. With our design science research approach, we plan to derive design principles and design features from our state-of-the-art design requirements. Additionally, we will conduct a field experiment to put our theoretical contributions to test and gather practical insights. Our research contributes to theory, by clarifying how and why gamified videos can support better learning. In a long run, practical contributions can be given to developers about how to construct gamified learning videos.}, address = {Duisburg-Essen, Germany}, author = {Benner, Dennis and Schöbel, Sofia}, booktitle = {International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI)}, keywords = {Design Engagement Gamified_Videos Learning Motivation itegpub pub_dbe pub_ssc}, month = {mar}, title = {A Theory-Driven Design Science Research Agenda Towards Gamified Videos}, year = 2021 }

@inproceedings{ls_leimeister, abstract = {Driven by technological advances, smart personal assistants (SPA) have gained importance in human-computer interaction. SPAs can influence user behavior and persuade them towards an outcome. However, users often lack motivated to interact with SPAs. One way to support this interaction is persuasive system design; considering concepts as gamification and/or digital nudging. Although SPA research has increased recently, there is still no shared knowledge about persuasive designs. Therefore, we aim to identify the current state-of-the-art for persuasive SPA design to understand how interactions and designs can be improved referring to persuasive system design. Thus, we conduct a systematic literature analysis to represent how gamification and digital nudging are used to design SPAs and conclude if and how those concepts can support SPA interactions. Consequently, we contribute to theory, providing better understanding about SPA interaction and design making SPAs more engaging and entertaining. Practitioners can use this contribution for persuasive SPA designs.}, address = {Duisburg-Essen, Germany}, author = {Benner, Dennis and Schöbel, Sofia and Janson, Andreas}, booktitle = {International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI)}, keywords = {Persuasive_Agents Persuasive_Design Smart_Personal_Assistants itegpub pub_aja pub_dbe pub_ssc}, month = {mar}, title = {Exploring the State-of-the-Art of Persuasive Design for Smart Personal Assistants}, year = 2021 }
