Gamification in medical education

T echnology is increasingly being used in medical education to supplement the delivery of learning resources. Gamification is defined as ‘the use of game design elements in non-game contexts’ (1). Despite being a relatively young field, gamification is making a big impact across a variety of industries and has piqued the interest of the academic community, with education being one of the first ...

Gamification to Empower Information Security Education

47% of the world population uses the internet daily, and access is growing also in less developed countries (LDCs). As a consequence, a total of almost 1 billion households in the world have internet access, of which 48 million belong from LDCs (ITU, 2016). A large proportion of internet users are teenagers, who often are not aware of all the risks related to sharing private information through...

Analysis of Gamification in Education

INTRODUCTION Gamification refers to the application of game dynamics, mechanics, and frameworks into non-game settings. Many educators have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to effectively utilize game dynamics to increase student motivation and achievement in the classroom. In an effort to better understand how gamification can effectively be utilized to this end, presented here is a...
