Innovative new digital technologies arise within the field of education every day. There seems to be a large potential impact in using gamification for improving acceptance and use of new technologies in education. This study aims to gain better and new insights on how to improve the acceptance of new educational technology by applying gamification elements. To this aim, we performed a systematic literature review of 1271 publications, yielding 56 relevant studies. We positioned these studies based on which gamification element(s) and which educational technology acceptance constructs were discussed. Our results show that few studies focus on individual gamification elements and that most studies focus on the same elements and constructs, i.e. Learning Expectancy, Social Influence and Hedonic Motivation are the most discussed constructs related to increasing the acceptance of educational technology when applying gamification, while Points, Badges, Leaderboards and Social Games & Teamwork are the most discussed gamification elements. The impact of gamifying educational technology is mixed -both negative and positive results are being reported -and thus we conclude that the knowledge of how to successfully gamify educational technology is still limited.

“…According to the definition of , these articles seem to be real gamification projects, since they present the results of gamification realization for purposes like improvement of onboarding processes in HR departments (e.g. (Depura & Garg, 2012)), optimization of business processes such as task or risk management (e.g. (Bajdor & Dragolea, 2011;Neeli, 2012)), team building (e.g.…”

In addition to challenges caused by the project itself, a project manager is exposed to many questions and obstacles regarding project knowledge management (KM). Beginning with project's start, the first task of project managers is to decide which expert fits best to the team. Thus, he has to figure out who knows what. Within the project, a vast amount of knowledge is created and shared among all project participants. The individual knowledge base of each member is growing rapidly in the limited period of time until the project is finished. Furthermore, members are joining or leaving the team which also increases the heterogeneity of overall project knowledge. Finally, at project's end, the project manager is ordered by his supervisor to collect and document project's key insights. These insights are called lessons learned and aim to improve organizational learning. Often, the collection and documentation of lessons learned take place in a final team meeting. This final step again comes along with a number of questions: Who has to be invited? Since team members join and leave the project during its duration, it is difficult to sample the group of appropriate participants. Have invitees time to join the session? Often, project team members already left the project or immediately joined another team or project. Therefore, invitees rate the benefits of participating at lessons learned sessions as being very low. Are the invitees motivated to participate and

“…This situation has led to the conception of the concrete problem, that is, students deem that the strategies of teaching and learning programming language are ineffective and that the course itself is not interesting. In 2012, [14] suggested that combining gamification with social media result to successful engagement, and effective learning of new employees, which leads to lower costs and high levels of productivity. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the missing elements of games (gamification) and fun factor to make the course of programming language interesting for students and increase their learning efficiency.…”

Students sometimes find it hard to learn new programming languages. They often confront unfamiliar programming terms and are required to visualize the processes that happen in the computer memory. Weak students find this a burden and end up memorizing the processes without understanding them and their working. This situation invariably leads students to get low grades in their programming subjects. Some researchers suggested that an enjoyable approach must be adopted in learning difficult subjects. Studies have shown that applying gamification elements in websites engages users. "Gamification" refers to the use of game elements in a non-game context to increase engagement between humans and computers. This research try to solve the problem by apply gamification elements in programming language course as a new architecture of Gamification application to increase the effectiveness of learning and enhance the understanding of students'.
