Abstract
[Extract] Game-based learning and gamification in education are hot topics and engender the core focus of this handbook. Whether using games to enhance learning or directly integrating game mechanics into learning experiences (gamification), the intent of these approaches is to motivate learners by using game elements to enhance their interest and engagement in something important or serious. People in educational and organizational settings of all varieties are turning to these approaches to enhance their training, teaching, marketing, and survey efforts. Everywhere, we see the effects of this movement popping up in the features, graphic styles, feedback systems, and contents of our devices, media, and e-learning tools.
