A popular term that I did not see in the ADS archive is gamification.
It has a Wikipedia entry, a dedicated blog, and a conference: The
Gamification Summit".

Gamification is the concept that you can apply the basic elements that
make games fun and engaging to things that typically aren't considered
a game. In theory you can apply Game Design to almost anything
including Education, Health, Work and more. See Gamification by
Industry.
