A social platform based on elgg will be developed, with gamification elements like virtual currency and gifts. The platform will have tools to support the co-creation of content with the “affinity space” perspective in mind. We will use a mixed-methods approach, gathering data from the analytics of the platform, such posts, messages and logs and from a survey. This last will be based on an already validated instrument for emotional presence, which we will adapt for our context. We hope to use the results for elaborating a set of guidelines to use in future, using gamification for empowering users and enhance emotional presence, avoiding extrinsic rewards.engGamificationSocial platformsGiftsconference object
