Via coursera (https://www.coursera.org) I obtained a certification in Gamification. "Gamification is the application of game elements and digital game design techniques to non-game problems, such as business and social impact challenges. This course will teach you the mechanisms of gamification, why it has such tremendous potential, and how to use it effectively."
