Here, learning activities promote student engagement and motivation to learn. Components of game-based learning include points systems, badges, leaderboards, discussion boards, quizzes and classroom response systems. Points may come with academic rewards such as having an extra week to submit an assignment once reaching a certain point threshold. Badges can be given if students reach a certain success level while classroom response systems like Kahoot or Top Hat encourage participation through points.Game based learning is also an active learning technique where games are used to enhance student learning. Here, the learning comes from playing the game and promotes critical thinking and problem solving skills. Game based learning can be accomplished with digital or non-digital games and may include simulations that can allow students to experience the learning firsthand.

While much more labor-and resource- intensive, developing a new game can be successfulif librarians collaborate with fellow educators and instructional designers to leverage expertise in educational technology and game development.It is clear that game-based learning offers an exciting opportunity to promote engagement and learning in library instruction. Increased access to the technology that allows us to create and access games, as well as the relatively recent popularity of gamification in our everyday lives, have enabled us to experiment with these technologies and applications in interesting and innovative ways.
