The adoption of digital learning systems is closely related to user engagement and system relevance. This quantitative research aims to explore the factors influencing students' switching intention from traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) to a gamified LMS platform, using the Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) framework. A conceptual model was…

Background: Gamification has been used in recent years to enhance the student experience in educational environments and to help students achieve an optimal experience. However, there is limited empirical evidence of the effects of gamification on specific psychological experiences, such as the students' flow experience, which is a highly…

Gamification is the use of game elements in a non-game context to encourage desired behaviours (Detering 2011a). It has been identified as a promising technique for improving user motivation on e-learning platforms. Since previous literature reviews and meta-analyses only considered gamification and learning effort without focusing directly on…

Learning management systems (LMS) are essential components of courses, yet student engagement on these platforms remains a significant challenge. Traditionally, grades have been used to incentivize student engagement, but this approach comes with drawbacks. In this paper, we explored an alternative form of incentivization, gamification, that has…

In computer-based dialogue learning, students' willingness to communicate and ability to interact is one of the important factors. Few studies have examined the testing of mobile metaverse teaching material systems built for interactive communication and learning courses. This study developed and designed course content for a virtual classroom,…

A massive open online course (MOOC) is a powerful tool for expanding educational opportunities, but one of the major challenges facing MOOCs is the high dropout rate. Low completion rates indicate issues with student engagement and motivation. Gamification, the incorporation of game elements in non-game contexts, has shown promise in increasing…

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 research aimed to develop metaverse virtual learning management based on gamification techniques model (MVLM-Gt model) and to evaluate the appropriateness of the model. The research methodology was divided into two parts in accordance with these aims. The first part was the design of the learning step using metaverse virtual learning…

The increase in usage of Online Learning systems has provided a challenge to deliver e-contents based on user needs. This study uses learning style data to determine the learning profile and provide the content based on the user's needs, whereas gamified elements are used to increase user engagement. The combination of these two approaches would…

The gamification approach is often used in educational settings, with widely varying results on learner motivation. A new trend emerged these last years on adaptive gamification to fit learners' preferences for game mechanics, but little is known on how the adaptation of different game elements impacts different types of learner motivation. In…

Gamification is a promising method proposed to solve the motivational problems of online learners and enhance their performance. However, the evidence regarding why and how gamification might work and its effects on these outcomes is inconclusive. In order to provide more evidence to the ongoing discussion in the gamification field, the current…

The emergence of online learning has become important during the COVID -19 pandemic due to the advent of internet technology. The unpreparedness of planning and implementing online learning has caused many problems during the pandemic such as limited or monotonous academic materials as well as difficulty in organizing activities and student…

This study evaluates the effect of game mechanics by employing serious games and gamification for improving learning outcomes. This is done by considering the performances of the students in terms of the test scores. In the quasi-experimental set-up, which consists of 108 students in their intact three classes attended a series of lessons on…

This paper adds an algorithmic epistemology perspective to previous works that examine the datafication of subjective social and emotional characteristics, perceptions, and behaviours. The paper employs a comparative epistemological approach to explore two behavioural educational platforms: RedCritter Teacher and Panorama Education. We unpack…

This study aims to test the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) that relates the type of gamification activities based on the student hybrid player type to the engagement of undergraduate students at a Saudi Arabia public university. By measuring the influence of the type of gamification and the hybrid player types on the student's…
