Differences Between Gamification and Game Based Learning in Education
-
Gamification: learning is made into a game
- Learning → Game
- Ex: Leaderboards, progress bards, badges, and achievements in a course
- To create an experience like a game using game elements
- Gamification has a lot of positive research, but there is also evidence of increasing competition and difficulty completing tasks (designing the course is difficult too)
-
Game Based Learning: using a game for learning
- Game → Learning
- Ex: using games in a classroom like Minecraft, Portal, and World of Warcraft (21st-century skills)
- To create an immersive experience using concepts like storytelling and challenges
