    Gamification is the process of taking something that already exists – a website, an enterprise application, an online community – and integrating game mechanics into it to motivate participation, engagement, and loyalty. ​
    Gamification takes the data-driven techniques that game designers use to engage players, and applies them to non-game experiences to motivate actions that add value to your business. ​

    Why Gamification?​
    Two teaching methods​

      Instructor-Led​
      Pros: Is very interactive​
      Cons: The effectiveness of lesson depends in the instructor​

    Computer-Based​

      Pros: Cheap and can take place anytime, anywhere​
      Cons: Lacks interactivity​

    ​

    Gamification​
    Combines both of the methods​
    Allows more student interaction and more practice​
