“…Also, competitiveness is used as one of the main factors to be taken into account for this research, since it has been shown that students develop their cognitive skills better in a competitive context to improve their overall performance [33] and optimize the execution of certain activities through gamification [34].…”

Due to globalization growth, learning a second language is a necessity to develop in an increasingly demanding multicultural environment. However, at present we still find that some traditional methodologies are still being applied for teaching, which represents a problem for current students, also called digital natives, because these methodologies should adapt to this digital age of technology and knowledge. To solve this problem, a digital resource for foreign language learning was developed taking into account competitiveness and gamification as bases to motivate students and engage them into the course. The objective of this tool is to improve the processing of theoretical information obtained making use of a virtual environment which has competitive activities and gamification elements such as: obtaining medals for completing tasks, user's progress bar and ranking according to the scores obtained, so that students are motivated and improve their learning. This research seeks to analyze the effects of applying competitiveness and gamification in a virtual environment aimed at foreign language learning. It was found that 81.03% of students are more inclined to use gamified digital tools and also 82.76% of students feel more motivated to learn a second language using this methodology.

As serious games are nowadays more frequently used for learning purposes in different domains, the success of the tasks in the organization depends on the stakeholders' training and capabilities, and in the emergency management domain, this is no exception. Accordingly, stakeholders in emergency management need adequate training to respond effectively to an incident. Their perception of safety is a goal for organizations, and proper training could ensure their adequate participation in the activities of emergency plan management. This chapter presents a serious game for training stakeholders to respond to emergency incidents designed to optimize the costs involved. For this purpose, a tool was developed that allowed the learning process to be evaluated through an experiment with a group of workers in an organization. The results obtained were found to be valuable assessments of the learning objectives and showed that serious games contributed to improving continuous training in organizations.
