SAP ERP knowledge is becoming more and more important and the demand for corresponding education and training is constantly increasing. As of today, curricula around SAP ERP typically include face-to-face instruction by a lecturer as well as hands-on practice phases in the SAP system to apply and reinforce the theoretical knowledge. In the era of COVID-19, this created challenges, since courses needed to be redesigned to fully digital within a very short amount of time. The purpose of this paper is to identify existing digital elements around SAP ERP education and training that could help lecturers to design engaging hybrid or fully digital learning offerings. To achieve this goal, a systematic literature review was conducted, and the results show that the identified offerings are either infrastructural offerings or simulations. Furthermore, SAP S/4HANA is hardly addressed in prior research, even though it is supposed to become the industry standard by 2027. Consequently, future research should focus on developing digital elements for education and training around SAP S/4HANA. Existing simulations might be adapted, but research should also try to explore further digital elements beyond simulations.

“…For this reason, games and game mechanics can be frequently found in our daily activities [6], including the technology we interact with. Promising application domains of game mechanics are educational software [7][8][9], bonus and discount systems [10], productivity and working software [11,12], social media [13,14], as well as healthcare and fitness training [15][16][17][18].…”

Investigating the Potential of Gamification to Improve Seniors’ Experience and Use of Technology

A non-negligible proportion of seniors rarely uses new technology. Far too often, these rather tech unexperienced seniors struggle with new soft- or hard-ware, that do not provide easy access. As a result, some seniors avoid or completely desist to further use “these modern technologies” and consequently miss out on the benefits of digital age. Game-inspired design is supposed to be a promising way to overcome some perceived barriers of seniors by providing hedonic value during early interaction. Previous research has shown that game-inspired design is suitable to motivate seniors’ use of Health-IT. To investigate its potential to facilitate the use of information and communication technology (ICT), an experimental study was conducted. The study investigated the appeal of various gamification features, which were embedded in a prototype of an ICT learning software and compared it to a non-gamified version of the software. Results indicate that the concept of gamified ICT learning software appeals to seniors in general, but that the acceptance of different gamification features is quite diverse. A clear-cut superiority of adding gamification to the software was not found. After interacting with both software versions, seniors in around equal parts preferred either the non-gamified version, the gamified version, or could not decide. Those seniors that clearly favored the gamified version were particularly fond of continuous positive feedback and receiving rewards for each task they have accomplished. Whereas the remaining seniors rather disliked the intensive endorsement through these two features and decided against the gamified version, albeit they liked many of the other game features. Our results underline the necessity of following a user-centered design approach when developing game-inspired applications, and the need for an individualized use of gamification elements to meet the needs of the heterogeneous group of senior users.

ResumoA gamificação surgiu com o propósito de gerar envolvimento, lealdade e, acima de tudo, proporcionar uma experiência marcante para turistas e visitantes. Em vista disso, os destinos turísticos tornaram-se mais sensíveis às oportunidades de criação de novos serviços e produtos gamificados na indústria do turismo. Nesse cenário, este artigo objetiva analisar os estudos científicos (teóricos e empíricos) sobre a gamificação aplicada ao turismo com a finalidade de identificar elementos que justifiquem o potencial da gamificação para gerar competitividade nos destinos turísticos. Para atingir o objetivo, executaram-se pesquisas eletrônicas na base de dados especializada Scopus, atingindo-se, ao término da pesquisa, um agregado de onze documentos científicos identificados como significativos para a abordagem deste estudo. Deste modo, esta revisão exploratória da literatura trouxe as seguintes conclusões: (1) identificação de tendências na literatura sobre gamificação no turismo; (2) autores e publicações que mais se destacam nessa área; (3) objetivos, contextos e abordagens da gamificação no setor; (4) o potencial da gamificação para a competitividade; e, por fim, (5) a indicação das abordagens metodológicas adotadas nos estudos analisados. Além disso, permitiuse realizar uma síntese do conhecimento sobre a temática, o que possibilitou a percepção do que já se sabe sobre o tema e o que se precisa saber, além de apontar direções para investigações futuras e algumas limitações de investigações nessa área. Palavras-chave: Gamificação; Destinos turísticos; Competitividade. AbstractThe potential of gamification to increase the competitiveness of tourist destinations: literature review based on Scopus Gamification has emerged with the purpose of generating involvement, loyalty and, above all, providing a remarkable experience for tourists and visitors.
