Students' participation and motivation are of great importance in their learning process. The decrease in attendance and difficulties in stimulating students' activity makes it necessary to find new methodologies that can solve these problems. The use of game mechanics in non-ludic environments (Gamification) has begun to be of great interest in research, since it could increase the motivation and therefore the activity of the students. This study tries to verify if there is an existing relationship between gamification and a possible increase in student activity or between the cessation of gamification and student activity. In addition, it evaluates whether a greater student activity corresponds to a greater learning improvement. In the obtained results, no significant differences were found between the methodology or the activity with a learning improvement. According to the study, the simple use of gamified elements does not necessarily imply a solution to the problems posed. The students' activity in a course of these characteristics does not imply a better learning improvement, the importance lies in the quality of the activity generated and not in the quantity.

“…According to our literature review, a few empirical research studies have been performed on implementing game elements in the Moodle platform. These studies implemented different gamification elements, with points, badges and leaderboards being the most popular game elements included (Barata et al, 2017;Dias, 2017;García-Iruela, and Hij on-Neira, 2018;Hew et al, 2016;Katsigiannakis and Karagiannidis, 2017;Olsson et al, 2015). In the Student engagement and performance implementation of gamification, the most common game element used in Moodle is the digital badge, while other game elements are applied by some add-on software tools.…”

Purpose This study aims to deploy game elements in an e-learning course on the Moodle platform. One of the greatest challenges of e-learning can be motivating and engaging students in learning. Gamification has been attracting increasing attention as a key underlying aspect of pedagogy that can be used to increase student engagement and motivation in learning. Design/methodology/approach To investigate student satisfaction and engagement with an e-learning course, here an Information Literacy Skills course, the authors collected data from 104 undergraduate students enrolled on the course in Thailand. In addition, the authors used student interaction data obtained from Moodle to examine whether there were any differences in the frequency of online interaction with the course between the students who performed at an above-average level and those who were below average. Findings The findings indicated that the students were highly satisfied with the gamification tools in Moodle and they were engaged in the gamified e-learning course. The authors found a significant difference in the frequency of online interaction with the course between the group who performed at an above-average level and the group who were below average. Practical implications The findings have important implications for the development of gamification in e-learning. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to study how gamification idea can be implemented in e-learning.

“…In their review of previous work, the authors paid special attention to studies performed on the implementation of gamification in Moodle. What they observed was that the three most discussed gamification elements were badges, leaderboards, and points [28][29][30][31][32][33]. In [34] the researchers succeeded in boosting student motivation and engagement by gamifying a Moodle-based course on the Unified Modeling Language.…”

Over the recent past a lot of work has been done around the topic of gamifying online learning. There are a number of useful papers discussing either the benefits of the process or the details of how to carry it out but there seem to be few dealing with both. In this paper the authors present the results of a lengthy research process which has culminated in the implementation and the delivery of a fully gamified Moodle-based course. The questions the researchers have addressed in their work attempt to determine the kind of influence gamification can have on the process of learning. In the experiment they have conducted, the gamified version of a key university course is delivered to a test group of 65 students, whereas a control group of 125 students takes the regular non-gamified version of the same course. The presentation of their work starts with an introduction to the key concepts and a review of some of the work done already, followed by a discussion of the complete set of gamification tools currently available in Moodle. The gamification of the UX Design course is then described in detail. Finally, the authors discuss the results of the experiment they have conducted and draw some conclusions that link the use of gamification to increased student motivation and engagement in the course, a lower level of attrition, and a significantly improved student success rate.
