Theory of Gamified learning by Lander

The use of game attributes outside the context of a game with

the purpose of affecting learning-related behaviors or attitudes.

Landers, R.N. (2015). Developing a Theory of Gamified Learning: Linking serious games and gamification of learning Simulation &
Gaming DOI: 10.1177/1046878114563660 [↩]
How gamification theory works
• Behaviors/attitudes can influence learning by one or both processes:
• by strengthening the relationship between instructional design quality
and outcomes
and/or
• by influencing learning directly (a mediating process).
Sources of Gamification
• Apps
• Wallame
• Socrative
• Kahoot
• CS
• Websites
