Editorial note: In this presentation I’ll walk through case studies that feature the use of WordPress, BuddyPress, and BadgeOS (a WordPress plugin I helped develop) to build systems for the YMCA of Greater New York, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Pierce County Library System. Each of these systems offer digital badges and points to participants for completing various activities – “gamifying” WordPress. In the case of the DMA, they fundamentally altered their business model around this new medium of visitor engagement.
