Moreover, James has multiple presentations associated with gamification over the past seven years, including but not limited to, "Making a case for play: How leisure and play can transform your mind and your work" and "Experiencing Game Aesthetics: An Interpretive Case Study of Game Spaces Using John Dewey's Aesthetics."
