Gamification is considered a promising approach to motivating learners. Yet, existing research found an inconsistent motivating impact of gamification designs. This paper explores individual differences in gamification design in the college learning context. Drawing upon the extended achievement goal theory, we posit that individuals' academic and social achievement goal orientations can portray user types for gamification designs in a learning environment. Using data collected from college students, we validate an instrument to measure college learners' achievement goal orientations. We subsequently identify three clusters of learners: the Self-image Worriers, the Minimizers, and the Eager Learners. We name this learner taxonomy ASGOL (Academic and Social Goal Orientation Learners). We speculate about gamification design implications for supporting all ASGOL types.
