Gamification in LearningDefined

Gamification is the process of applying gaming concepts to learning or other scenarios with the goal of making the training experience more engaging and entertaining for the learner. 

Some game‐based learning allows for the learner to compete against others either within or outside of an organization and to have a more interactive, enjoyable experience.
