- Best practices (what works and what doesn’t) for academic community engagement
- Technical resources, documentation and tutorials for use of low-cost gamification technologies
- Testimonials and personal stories from the pilots to make it more tangible and fun
- Description of the pilots as case studies
As a final insight, the participants agreed to discuss a set of common templates to document and follow up with the pilots: a pilot blueprint with an evaluation categories to share learnings and a database to track hard and soft data; journaling; the general evaluation template containing the reporting and data collected, and a template for each pilot set of methods.
