LudiMoodle: Adaptive Gamification to Improve Learner Motivation

摘要

The LudiMoodle project aims to adapt game elements integrated into the Moodle learning environment to helpmotivate learners.The gamification field has been growing over the last decade. Most studies that have investigated the use ofgamification in education have highlighted its benefits in terms of learner performance and motivation. However,these studies have generally focused on short-term effects, and do not differentiate between the impact of each gameelement according to the context or the learner profile. More recent studies, considering the impact of each gameelement separately, have shown that their impact depends on the learner profile [1] (e.g., motivation, player type,personality traits), with some game mechanisms being detrimental to specific learners [2]. For instance, in aprevious study, we showed that amongst the most engaged learners (i.e., learners who use the environment thelongest), those with adapted game elements spend significantly more time in the learning environment [3].
