Abstract

SEGAN (Serious Games Network) is a Community of Practice around the topic of Serious Games. It started in the scope of the Lifelong Learning programme with the intent of systematizing European approaches in this field, combining theory, research and practice. Like any other community, to be effective SEGAN needs to be dynamic, lively and continuously animated. Members must be involved, contribute, participate and feel they belong. This is not immediate as most community users are lurkers, that is, only receivers of the information. This article presents a strategy, based on gamification principles, planned to contribute to this involvement. Results so far have not been decisive but have allowed understanding better the dynamics of a Community.
