Gamifying Learning:

10. What is 'gamification of
learning'?
The gamification of learning is an educational
approach to motivate students to learn by using
video game design and game elements
in learning environments.The goal is to
maximize enjoyment and engagement through
capturing the interest of learners and inspiring
them to continue learning.

11. Keeping Kids in FLOW
When game developers design their games,
they know that people play their games
specifically to be challenged.
“If the level of challenge remains appropriate to
the level of ability, and if this challenge rises as
the ability level rises, the person will stay in the
center region and experience … “flow.”
Once students reach a level of frustration, they
are unlikely to desire to re-engage in a given
task, even if the task is altered to be more
achievable.
