“…Palmquist [25] reports on a study comparing the design process for adding gamification to already existing systems with the design of gamified solutions from scratch. The resulting architecture for adding gamification to existing systems is comparable to that of Gamifire.…”

Gamification aims at addressing problems in various fields such as the high dropout rates, the lack of engagement, isolation, or the lack of personalisation faced by Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC). Even though gamification is widely applied, not only in MOOCs, only few cases are meaningfully designed and empirically tested. The Gamification Design Process (GaDeP) aims to cover this gap. This article first briefly introduces GaDeP, presents the concept of meaningful gamification, and derives how it motivates the need for the Gamifire platform (as a scalable and platform-independent reference infrastructure for MOOC). Secondly, it defines the requirements for platformindependent gamification and describes the development of the Gamifire infrastructure. Thirdly we describe how Gamifire was successfully applied in four different cases. Finally, the applicability of GaDeP beyond MOOC is presented by reporting on a case study where GaDeP has been successfully applied by four student research and development projects. From both, the Gamifire cases and the GaDeP cases we derive the key contribution of this article: insights in the strengths and weaknesses of the Gamifire infrastructure as well as lessons learned about the applicability and limitations of the GaDeP framework. The paper ends detailing our future works and planned development activities.

This study delves into higher education students' active participation in an Erasmus+ blended intensive program (BIP) that focuses on teaching game creation. Three universities facilitated the BIP, which had 22 international students. The program, designed around project-based learning and on-site/online collaboration, empowered students to better prepare them for careers the game industry. Two student focus groups were analyzed using thematic analysis to understand the students' perceptions of the educational approach. The investigation findings emphasize that aligning game creation teaching with conditions and technologies in the game industry is challenging in practice despite its apparent simplicity on paper. It also underscores the crucial role of soft skills and transversal competencies in game creation education. These skills, often overlooked, play a vital role in the success of game creation projects. With this study, we wish to contribute to the discourse on game education by offering insights into the enablers and barriers to teaching game creation within higher education. It provides ten useful considerations for game scholars and educators to deliberate in their profession.
