Despite the potential for personalized learning, e-learning courses often suffer from low completion rates. In order to address this issue, we propose and empirically test a theoretical mechanism that examines how gamification can enhance the completion rate in adaptive learning courses by promoting a more positive behavioral response and attitude…

Gamification mechanisms have been increasingly integrated into educational environments to enhance learner's engagement and improve the effectiveness of online courses. However, the precise effects of gamification on learner's engagement, including the factors that influence this behavior, remain under-explored. This study addresses this gap by…

Gamification has often been used to stimulate learner engagement via intangible rewards, such as virtual points and virtual badges, rather than material goods or benefits. However, not all learners value such intangible rewards; some express their desire to redeem intangible rewards for utilitarian resources or benefits. Although tangible rewards…

Purpose: Through the lens of the information systems success model, self-determination theory, and TAM2, this study proposes and tests an integrative model to investigate students' satisfaction with the use of e-learning systems in higher education institutions in a developing country context. Design/methodology/approach: This study adopted a…

This volume addresses issues related to inclusive education and gamification and offers practical ideas for using games and gamified learning as effective methodological tools in inclusive education and in promoting inclusion in education. The work is structured into a predominantly theoretical section, and an applicative, illustrative one. The…

Background: Persisting after experiencing difficulty allows students to work in the upper ends of their zones of proximal development, where most learning occurs (Ventura et al., 2013; Vygotsky & Cole, 1978). Digital educational games promote productive persistence by allowing students to repeat the same or similar problems until they reach…
