“…Recently, researchers in the field of training implementation, including corporate training, have been paying more and more attention to the introduction of gamification as a tool to increase the engagement and motivation of students in training [3,4,5,6,7]. It is believed that the training implementation using gamified services and platforms has the potential to increase the training efficiency, based on the following aspects: providing students with the opportunity to overcome difficulties and challenges; the ability to aggregate knowledge obtained in various ways and from different sources, as well as use it to make prudent decisions; forecast results based on decisions made; encourage students for their activities; provide interactive feedback; stimulate gradual systematic training at a calm comfortable pace [8,9,10,11].…”

The article examines the processes of applying game mechanics to optimize and automate the management and development of company personnel. This allows one to free up resources for solving tasks that require high qualifications, enhances the quality of work performed by reducing the factor of human errors in monotonous actions, and also ensures the engagement and motivation of employees. It is concluded that solving problems of optimization and automation of personnel management processes is an integral part of the competitive companies’ activities. Employees’ motivation and engagement in these processes increase their efficiency and loyalty to the company. The use of game mechanics in the implementation of corporate HR management processes increases the motivation and engagement of employees, and, as a result, greatly enhances their efficiency.

“…A virtual community (VC) is a computer supported space where information can be shared inbetween stakeholders with common interest or purpose (Preece, 2001;Koch et al, 2002). Millions of VCs exist on the Internet and they form what is called the Social Web, where people can join, leave and participate in many VCs (Bouras et al, 2005). In this paper, we address the topic of context-aware virtual communities and more specifically we present a data model and its implementation suited to let mobile end-users use but also create and customize VCs.…”

In this paper, we propose a model for an open framework that allows mobile users to create and to participate to context-aware virtual communities. The model we propose and implement is a generic data model fully compliant with the semantic web data model RDF. This model is suited to let mobile end-users use, create and customize virtual communities. We combine fundamentals for a decentralized semantic web social network with context-aware virtual communities and services. Smart cities scenarios are typically targeted with this approach. It can be implemented in places like metro stations, museums, squares, cinemas, etc. to provide ad hoc context-aware information services to mobile users.

“…Nowadays, video games are widely accepted as a social norm and used for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eSports, business, psychological and social adaptation, and learning. Computer-mediated game-based learning has been recognized as an important alternative or complement to traditional classroom learning (Bouras, et al, 2005) and is becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate the concept of GBL into the broader history of pedagogy and explore its roots in traditional pedagogical teachings about the role of play in learning.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of game-based learning as an information and communication technology for educational activities, with a focus on enhancing emotional intelligence. The study aims to understand the effectiveness of game-based learning, identify key contributing factors, and provide practical insights for learning and personal development. The article covers the principles and strategies for designing game-based learning environments that are specifically tailored to promote emotional intelligence in learners, considering elements such as game design, feedback mechanisms, and interactive features. The transformation matrix of the self-assessment test of emotional intelligence to game situations is presented. Links between “EI test questions”, “Mechanics” (game rules), “Dynamics” (game strategies, and time), “Game aesthetics”, and “Pedagogical strategies” are shown. This article presents a quantitative analysis of the results from a controlled study that investigates the effectiveness of game-based learning in improving emotional intelligence. It could provide insights into the measurable impact of such educational activities. A paper prototype of the emoji test was presented, and multivariate testing of the level of emotional intelligence, emotional burnout, and aggression of university students and teachers before and after the game was conducted with the help of EI. Playing games based on emotional intelligence and following the recommendations led to positive changes: an increase in emotional intelligence and a decrease in emotional energy and aggression. The study results contain recommendations for teachers, instructors, or organizations interested in implementing game-based learning programs. The study can contribute to the broader field of emotional intelligence theory and learning by expanding the understanding of how computer game-based learning as interactive ICT experiences can influence the development of emotional intelligence and the quality of education.
