چکیده
We present a preliminary user study in an e-learning environment aimed to adapt and validate generic mechanics and player types proposed in the gamification literature. We incorporate well-known gamification mechanics into a number learning activities, implemented them as functionalities of an e-learning system, and investigate the learning effectiveness of the proposed mechanics, as well as the relations between the mechanics and their assumed player types.

Investigating the Relationship between Player Types and Learning Styles in Gamification Design
An educational gamification is a new approach that has developed hopes to increase the effectiveness of learning. Computer game users are actually players that are categorized according to their personalities and have different learning styles. To achieve maximum performance in designing gamified learning, one can determine the relationship between player types and their learning styles, and th...

This paper presents a case study of developing gamified activities in the classroom, supported by simple web-based software tools. The followed gamification approach consists of the instantiation of a generic framework for the design and implementation of gamified activities in a given context, which aims to establish the appropriate player types and gamification mechanics for that context. Suc...
متن کاملAdaptation of Gaming Features for Motivating Learners
Background. Many learning environments are quickly deserted by learners, even if they are efficient. Gamification of learning environments is a recent approach used to enhance learners’ motivation and participation. Aim. One issue with this approach is that people have various expectations and react differently faced with specific game mechanics. So, an important goal lies in automatically adap...

Gamification at is current state lacks methods for fast iteration and evaluation of game mechanics and game elements. Using UAREI modelling method to simulate gamified system and evaluate its effects users based on player types. In the experiment a simulated market of agents is used randomized motivation and behavior accounting. User behavior is expressed using mathematical formula and adjusted...
متن کاملSelecting Effective Influence Principles for Tailoring Gamification-Based Strategies to Player Roles
Gamification is a term that refers to the use of game elements in nongame contexts with the goal of engaging people in a variety of tasks. Gamification can be an effective persuasive tool for motivating learners and lately we have witnessed a growing interest in gamified learning systems. However, the efforts of the research community in the last years have shown the weakness of one-size-fits-a...
