“…This was both due to a lack of comprehensive research that covers best practices of gamification connected to aiding the acceptance and use of information systems (i.e. Jedel & Palmquist, 2021) and partly due to limited time resources in the project. Therefore, it is recommended that further research and frameworks focus on more holistic and practical frameworks of gamification design and development in several contexts.…”

Gamification’s role to support usability and innovation in the manufacturing industry is in its infancy. The present study displays a multi-cited ethnographical approach of a design science research project conducted between a start-up gamification firm and a manufacturing company. The case shows how different gamification design methods are used when gamifying a novel human modelling system. Furthermore, the interference from method to the design is presented and compared with conceptual views of gamification design. The findings show the need for early technical due diligence in collaborations between newer and older firms as well as the need for more comprehensive gamification frameworks to support industry design of gamification in different contexts.

“…Teachers also appreciate such apps for sharpening understanding of concepts by additional visual input, for developing creativity and capacity for processing content (Demirbilek & Tamer, 2010), and for their potential for developing life skills such as sociability, cooperation, collaboration and team work (Smith, 2018). Gamified resources are also appreciated for promoting alternatives to traditional learning, by varying the presentation of content and placing it within more inclusive learning environment (Jedel & Palmquist, 2021). In this sense, authors such as Sun et al (2018) consider that learning assistance tools used with digital games can help students to create problem-solving strategies while supporting achievement.…”

“…When the type of content is suitable and the time to right to introduce the app, a third variable that influences successful application of a gamified app will be that there is a clear connection to the objectives and assessment criteria for the educational stage and age of the students, and that their level of competence, attitude, knowledge and skills in the subject areas being developed can be easily verified (Fombona et al, 2020;Kingsley & Grabner-Hagen, 2015;Parra-González et al, 2020;Vázquez-Ramos, 2021). The connection between game and curriculum can be made from various perspectives, as long as they enable the student's progress to be continuously monitored, for example, when the game includes roadmaps to reach objectives, different levels of complexity, with text and visual resources to enable assimilation of concepts and reinforcement of key elements to build an exhaustive knowledge of the material (Jedel & Palmquist, 2021).…”

The main objective of this research is to determine the perception of teachers about the elements that increases the educational effectiveness of gamified apps in primary education. A methodology based on an importance-performance analysis was daeveloped, using a structural equations model to calcuate the degree of importance of each variable. The sample was formed of 212 Spanish teachers with experience using educational apps in the teaching–learning process. Six categories were identified as precursors of educational effectiveness: (1) curriculum connection, (2) feedback and operational experience, (3) assessment and learning analytics, (4) sustainability (Protection Personal data), (5) equal access and (6) flow. These six categories enhance the three traditional areas of gamification intervention: cognitive, emotional and social. In this sense, the design and adoption of an educational gamified app should: (1) establish a clear link between the game and curricular content and competence development; (2) promote self-regulated learning through individual and collaborative activities; (3) offer adapted learning by integrating differentiated personalized learning pathways; (4) integrate learning analytics that can be consulted by teacher, student and family; (5) comply with data protection regulation and promote a safe, sustainable and ethical use of the information generated; (6) take into account different levels of functional diversity. When the gamified app design incorporates these attributes, primary education teachers perceive that such resources can be integrated effectively into the teaching–learning processes.

“…Another important aspect influencing the dropout rate is the features of the course (e.g., quality and content [17,21], difficulty and length [6,11]). Less frequently studied aspects include gamification [22], the relation of registration date to the course start date [23], course start date, course length or assessment type [24], and social factors (posts on the forum) [25]. In some cases, the dropout rate was predicted based on the responses to a survey taken by course participants which, among others, indicated their interests, previous knowledge, and motivations for studying the MOOC [26].…”

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have gained widespread popularity for their potential to offer education to an unlimited global audience. However, they also face a critical challenge in the form of high dropout rates. This paper addresses the need to identify students at risk of dropping out early in MOOCs, enabling course organizers to provide targeted support or adapt the course content to meet students’ expectations. In this context, zero-time dropout predictors, which utilize demographic data before the course commences, hold significant potential. Despite a lack of consensus in the existing literature regarding the efficacy of demographic data in dropout prediction, this study delves into this issue to contribute new insights to the ongoing discourse. Through an extensive review of prior research and a detailed analysis of data acquired from two programming MOOCs, we aim to shed light on the relationship between students’ demographic characteristics and their likelihood of early dropout from MOOCs, using logistic regression. This research extends the current understanding of the impact of demographic features on student retention. The results indicate that age, education level, student status, nationality, and disability can be used as predictors of dropout rate, though not in every course. The findings presented here are expected to affect the development of more effective strategies for reducing MOOC dropout rates, ultimately enhancing the educational experience for online learners.
