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​
