Computer games have grow n in many d i r e c t i o n s. Many studies and systems deals with different elements such as "Fun" and "pleasure" in the game structure to improve a learners motivation in the field of educational learning. In this paper, we will explain different theoretical support for the benefit of using game in education and learning. We will also demonstrate the difference among those methods such as , Game Base Learning(GBL), educational game and Gamification in education. A clear description among these new terms with explanation of the possible impact on teaching and learning will be presented. Games can make learning c onc e pt more enjoyable for students and provide a platform f or their creative thought. Games will often act as learning triggers inducing lively discussion on learning concepts amongst students following game play. A couple of new ways of teaching like Game Based Learning and Gamification can be applied to enhance the learning procedure of students in various age levels.

Low level of in-class participation can be a problem for lecturers when they teach Asian students. One of the reason is the characteristics of the Asian students, which are quiet and passive. Active learning is needed to solve this problem. Gamification is one of the things that can improve active learning. This study aims to understand how to design gamification system for higher education teaching, the factors contributed to the gamification system in higher education, and the impacts of the gamification system for students with the case study of Bina Nusantara University in Indonesia. The finding shows that there are several things to consider in designing gamification system. Factors in the system, the lecturers, the course, and the students also take important parts in the implementation. When it is done correctly, there will be a lot of positive impacts for the students and the teaching.

“…A comparison between a game-based learning and a gamification technique was done by Jayasinghe and Dharmaratne [50] to determine which let students understand theories without any unnecessary decoration. Results showed that the students who have studied using the gamified components have obtained higher marks, more understanding of the theories and code than students who have studied using gaming component.…”
