There seems to be continued confusion about the distinctions between games, gamification, and game based learning.

This talk focuses on gamification; what it is, what it isn’t and what is needed for meaningful gamification.

The embedded video below is only part of it. Go to the original site here to see both the talk and the slides simultaneously.
