Purpose: This paper provides an overview of the literature on digital games designed or adapted for information literacy instruction, as well as practical design recommendations.Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents an analysis of a compiled set of peerreviewed articles on games in the provision of information literacy instruction published between 2013-2018, categorized by game mechanics utilized.Findings: Application of the inclusion criteria led to 12 papers considered relevant. Synthesis of the papers suggests that although studies indicate positive outcomes for information literacy games, such games continue to rely on transcription of declarative tasks to digital environments.Originality/value: While previous literature reviews provide summaries on information literacy digital games, this paper not only presents an up-to-date review but also provides step-by-step instructions and worked examples for aligning information literacy learning mechanics with game mechanics.

We present a systematic literature review of gamification in information retrieval, identifying 32 peer-reviewed articles spanning a period from 2012 to present day. Our study highlights that, with the exception of crowdsourcing relevance judgments, very few studies have investigated the application of gamification to search systems. Moreover, in articles that we would strictly define as being related to gamification (i.e. not games with a purpose or serious games), a majority did not present any real-world systems, user studies or empirical results. In numerous other fields, gamification has been used to successfully increase user engagement and productivity. We argue that the potential of gamification has been overlooked in information retrieval and, in particular, in interactive search settings. We conclude by discussing experimental obstacles and the potential benefits of evaluating gamification strategies in future interactive search systems.

The design and guidelines for gamification offer designers a range of solutions to provide empowerment and engagement to assist with retention within education. This chapter addresses a knowledge gap around the effective use while improving retention. With gaming mechanics as a driving point, specific design considerations were explored: badges, leader boards, points and levels, and challenges. The educator must think from the learner's perspective and find new ways of creating challenges and motivation techniques to provide value. Gamification, when applied to different disciplines, has the potential to facilitate the individual within learner-centricity. Current research indicates that gaming mechanics can encourage and motivate the learner while enriching their experience when applied to education.
