“…The following section lists student activity reports that were generated based on log files from the Moodle system and also represents the final section to consider when making a decision to accept or reject hypothesis H1. The assumptions made by the authors cited within this research (Ismail, 2019;Bernik et al, 2019;Adeel, 2014;Kovacova and Vackova, 2015;etc.,) suggest that elements of computer games have a positive effect on student motivation, accordingly, summarized research results will be presented below. In the research conducted within the course "Computer Mediated Communication", a total of 13 teaching and bonus materials were used, which were available to students for at least 14 days.…”

Gamification is a common and familiar term so far and it can be seen in almost every part of human activity. It's been nine years since the terminology first appeared in Gartner's Hype Cycle Report in 2011, however, higher education institutions still do not apply computer game elements to online Learning Management Systems (LMS). The problems encountered are related either to the administrators of the LMS system or to teachers who, for various reasons (lack of time, authority, knowledge, motivation, etc.,) reject the changes. Objective of this paper is to determent if there is statistical significant difference between experimental and control groups. Experimental group will be using gamified Moodle online course while control will use classical Moodle online course. Research is made on a sample of 46 graduate students from the Faculty of Organization and Informatics within the course Computer Mediated Communication. Experiment lasted for 14 days after which testing the students' motivation to use the teaching materials as well as the lessons learned after the experimental period took place. The results indicate 7 times higher activity in the experimental group of students, as well as 33.23% better results (using t-test) in the experimental group of students in the final knowledge test, thus accepting both hypotheses of this research.

In recent years, university teaching methods have evolved and almost all higher education institutions use e-learning platforms to deliver courses and learning activities. However, these digital learning environments present significant dropout and low completion rates. This is primarily due to the lack of student motivation and engagement. Gamification which can be defined as the application of game design elements in non-game activities has been used to address the issue of learner distraction and stimulate students’ involvement in the course. However, choosing the right combination of game elements remains a challenge for gamification designers and practitioners due to the lack of proven design approaches, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach that works regardless of the gamification context. Therefore, our study focused on providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of gamification in online learning in higher education that can serve as a resource for gamification practitioners when designing gamified systems. In this paper, we aimed to systematically explore the different game elements and gamification theory that have been used in empirical studies; establish different ways in which these game elements have been combined and provide a review of the state-of-the-art of approaches proposed in the literature for gamifying e-learning systems in higher education. A systematic search of databases was conducted to select articles related to gamification in digital higher education for this review, namely, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. We included studies that consider the definition of gamification as the application of game design elements in non-game activities, designed for online higher education. We excluded papers that use the term of gamification to refer to game-based learning, serious games, games, video games, and those that consider face-to-face learning environments. We found that PBL elements (points, badges, and leaderboards), levels, and feedback and are the most commonly used elements for gamifying e-learning systems in higher education. We also observed the increasing use of deeper elements like challenges and storytelling. Furthermore, we noticed that of 39 primary studies, only nine studies were underpinned by motivational theories, and only two other studies used theoretical gamification frameworks proposed in the literature to build their e-learning systems. Finally, our classification of gamification approaches reveals the trend towards customization and personalization in gamification and highlights the lack of studies on content gamification compared to structural gamification.

“…Previous research findings state that gamification has the potential to improve learning outcomes, satisfaction, well-being and student discipline (Khenissi et al, 2015;Mascio et al, 2013). Other findings also state that Gamification can be used as a teacher's guide in learning and increasing each student's self-mastery (Adisti, 2022;Ahmad et al, 2020;Bernik et al, 2019). Based on the problems and solutions developed, this study aims to develop Android-based gamification learning media.…”

The problems that occur in the learning process for class III SLB B or deaf students originate from how the teacher conveys the material and the characteristics of the students. Teachers still teach in a simple method, so students get bored quickly. In the learning process, media is needed that prioritizes visuals to make it easier for students to capture the material presented by the teacher. This study aims to develop android-based gamification learning media on Civics theme 8 material. This research uses the Research and Development (RnD) method using the ADDIE approach. The participants in this study were 20 students of class III SLB B. The process of collecting data with interviews, questionnaires, and observation. At the same time, the instruments used are questionnaires and tests. Data analysis technique using SPSS with independent t-test. The result is that Android-based gamification media can be used in the learning process. In the experimental class, the average post-test score is 9.10, while in the control class is 8.00. Based on these values, the use of Android-based gamification learning media in the experimental class increased students' understanding of Civics compared to the control class, which did not use gamification learning media. Thus, gamification has a positive influence on increasing student understanding.
