Episode 03, Esther Schinkel :: Gamification, Higher Education and Life as a UX Team of One.

Today we head to the Netherlands to talk with Esther Schinkel, who, in her own words, is passionate about making the web usable. And as I think you’ll hear, she takes a great deal of pride and joy in that endeavor.  Esther began her creative life as a fine artist, and she believes that much of the power of the internet is lost because we are not fully utilizing our resources, particularly in the field of education – which happens to be the industry she’s focused on. Introducing concepts like gamification and personalized learning experiences, Esther has been slowly and steadily working to improve the tools teachers use to engage and motivate students. And by doing so, making the Internet a place that helps people learn and grow. Portfolio: Designed by Esther LinkedIn: esther-schinkel Facebook: esther.schinkel
