Abstract

The concept of gamification has gained significant attention from practitioners and academics alike. Using game mechanics and dynamics to support an e-learning platform can increase learners' motivation, engagement, and retention areas, which have been proven to be challenging in the past. This chapter proposes a conceptual gamified e-learning framework which addresses some of the issues facing such environments. Further work needs to be done to standardize the framework by testing and applying it to a gamified e-learning environment.
