Gamification and Game-Based Learning: Presenter: Musab Masri

This document discusses gamification and game-based learning. It defines gamification as applying game design elements to non-game applications to make them more fun and engaging. Some key game mechanics that can be used include achievements, discovery, leaderboards, levels/status, and progress indicators. Gamification focuses on motivation through autonomy, mastery and purpose rather than just rewards and punishment. Specific gamification strategies for the classroom are proposed like assigning points for tasks, using leaderboards, and giving badges for accomplishments. The benefits of game creation for developing skills are also presented, along with examples of educational games and how gaming can enhance learning.
