About the Event :

Gamification refers to the use of game design elements in non-game context (Deterding, Khaled, Nacke & Dixon, 2011). The application of gamification in education has been explored in recent years, and there are research studies suggesting that incorporating game design elements and game dynamics can enhance students' engagement and motivation. This workshop will introduce the use of game design elements in learning and teaching in vocational and professional education and training (VPET) to engage students' learning. This workshop will also discuss the possible constraints and challenges in applying gamification in the VPET context.
