Abstract
Good design produces ancillary benefits. Engagement science applies the principles of gameful design to non-game situations - in this case to the problem of low rates of student retention and completion. We summarize how and why (a) 50 years of student retention research has not improved completion rates, (b) higher education is already a poorly designed game, (c) game design principles can liberate the creativity of administrators, (d) early empirical tests generally support a gameful approach, and (e) a cooperative NJEdge can choose to become the innovation leader for student retention.
