“…According to Biro (2014), gamification has some common elements with the behaviorist learning theory, like superiority of positive reinforcements, small step-by-step tasks, immediate feedback, and progressive challenges. Educational gamification proposes the use of game-like rule systems, player experiences and cultural roles to shape learners' behavior (Sua & Cheng, 2013).…”

The following paper presents the model for introduction of gamification into the field of e-learning in higher education. Concepts and differences between techniques and methods of game-mechanics and game dynamics are explained. With proper integration of gamification in the field of e-learning into higher education, a positive impact on the learning process can be achieved, such as higher satisfaction, motivation and greater engagement of students. The importance of clearly defined objectives, rules, techniques and mechanisms of gamification that affect the dynamics of the students is shown. The paper presents a comprehensive view of the gamification concept in higher education. The advantages and disadvantages of introducing gamification in e-learning are described. The paper combines the characteristics of gamification with e-learning and shows the possibilities of use in practical.

“…The increasing usage of wireless technology, such as smartphone usage, changes today's individual communication, (a person's) information seeking behavior, and the lifestyle of individuals in particular (Kim et al 2013). The interaction with mobile devices and their use for learning purposes extend the traditional learning paradigm into a new area of mobile learning (Su and Cheng 2013). Referring to this, learning is no longer a matter of a specific time of occurrence or a particular location (Bartel and Hagel 2014).…”

“…Due to this, further research is necessary to define a method for the systematic design and combination of game design elements (Fogel 2015). Even more, future research has to consider how gamification should be systematically adapted to make it more engaging for users (Cheong et al 2013;Su and Cheng 2013). Since most gamification approaches forego a theoretical embedding for the selection of game design elements, our study focuses on the cognitive evaluation theory (CET Ryan and Deci 2000).…”

How to Gamify a Mobile Learning Application A Modularization Approach

Countless possibilities of usage make it more and more difficult to engage and motivate users in a regular use of mobile learning applications. However, users must be convinced to complete and explore every given option within the application. Considering this, gamification seems to be a promising approach to engage and motivate users. Gamification refers to the use of game-like elements in a non-entertainment-based context. Regarding previous research, most game design elements are randomly selected and combined. This is why we use modularization to systematically select and combine game design elements. Following the design science approach and the cognitive evaluation theory, we aim to define a new way of gamifying a mobile learning application. We, therefore, present an approach for the combination of game design elements. Contributions will be given by providing guidance in how to systematically select and combine game design elements.

“…Depending on the context in which the mobile learning application is considered, the learner may not have acquired the necessary knowledge to handle this kind of device (SU;CHENG, 2013). In addition, users should also be motivated to study outside the learning environment so that the lack of interest is overcome and does not jeopardize the completion of the proposed activities (MISHRA; CHAVHAN, 2012;PICEK;GRCIC, 2013).…”
