Abstract

In the previous chapter, you learned about a variety of different approaches used within gamification to support gamification elements within a social context. These social aspects provided you with a critical introduction in how social gaming elements, team-work, gaming mechanics can affect the learner. In this chapter, we are going to build upon chapter 1 and explore different learning approaches within gamification. The chapter starts with an introduction to learning. It follows with a brief analysis of learning theories used within gamification. The chapter then presents a new theoretical framework incorporating aspects of learning theories to improve motivation and learning experience of the individual within the community. Then finally the chapter aims to outline other research areas belonging to gamification and learning theories.
