Gamification provides a practical approach to improving learning processes, especially the learner's motivation. However, little research has been conducted on student intentions to use gamification in higher education. Therefore, this study explored the gamification in higher educational courses by collecting surveys and discusses the factors influencing the acceptance of gamification in higher education. Based on the PLS-SEM results, students should take initial game-based learning content to be more familiar with gamification; furthermore, they could have a positive experience so that they would increase their intention. Performance expectancy is the most important factors influencing a student to accept gamification. Other factors, such as effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, involvement, skill, and control, are also important factors. With the results of this study, the instructor designer could have substantial help in planning the course content and enhance its efficiency and effectiveness.

This study analyzed students' self-report on their intention to use an ubiquitous video game-based learning system. Participants were 30 college students in Taiwan. They completed a questionnaire measuring their responses to six constructs which formed a research model based on Technology Acceptance Model. Structural Equation Modeling was used as the technique for data analysis. Results showed that attitude and intention were significantly explained by perceived playfulness. Additionally, perceived usefulness was significantly explained by perceived ease of use. Limitation and future research directions are also discussed.
