The "gamification" of learning or use of game elements in education has been touted as a way to better engage students. Advocates suggest that some students that might otherwise slip through the cracks or drop out of school could become more engaged in their education if it were fun.
I have just enrolled in an open online course that is studying this philosophy and will write a review of my experience upon completion. This course is the Game Elements 4 Learning or #GE4L course currently underway on the Canvas Open Network.
In researching this subject I located an interesting info-graphic that summarizes information on this topic very well in my opinion. Visit the infographic on Knewton's website here.
