1 Benefits of gamification

Gamification can help you manage your e-learning deadlines in several ways. First, it can increase your intrinsic motivation, which is the drive to do something for its own sake, rather than for external rewards or punishments. Gamification can do this by tapping into your innate needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. For example, you can choose your own learning goals, track your progress, and get feedback from peers or instructors. Second, gamification can enhance your extrinsic motivation, which is the drive to do something for external rewards or punishments. Gamification can do this by offering you badges, points, levels, or other incentives that recognize your achievements and efforts. Third, gamification can make your e-learning deadlines more fun and enjoyable, by adding elements of surprise, humor, curiosity, or storytelling. For example, you can use quizzes, puzzles, scenarios, or narratives to spice up your learning content and make it more memorable.

The use of Gamification in any subject matter, be it traditional textbook or online e-learning platforms, provides students with the ability to have competition and achievements to unlock to provide them with elevated feelings of success when they complete a task. Through Gamification badges and awards can be provided to students/ learners so that they can then get that instant recognition of ability and capability, but also to spur them on to the desire of achieving more and unlock more skills and abilities.

One of my favorite examples of gamification used for improving retention and deadline approaches in e-learning is the Duolingo app. They were one of the first apps to add streaks into education, making that a real game and improving retention just by this simple step. As we know from behavioral theory, the fear of loss works much better for humans than the idea of reaching something (especially, if that's not money). So think about what you can do with this approach. What is your "streak"?

2 Gamification strategies

There are many gamification strategies that you can use to manage your e-learning deadlines, depending on your learning objectives, preferences, and context. For instance, setting SMART goals – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound – can help you clarify what you want to learn, how you will measure success, how realistic your expectations are, how your learning relates to your needs or interests, and when you will complete tasks. Additionally, there are many gamified platforms or apps such as Classcraft, Duolingo, Habitica, or Kahoot that provide points, badges, leaderboards, quests, challenges, feedback, or social interaction that can make learning more engaging and rewarding. You can also create your own gamified system by using tools such as spreadsheets, calendars, stickers, charts, or cards with rules and rewards tailored to your learning style and preferences. Finally, joining a gamified community can help you find or create a group of learners who share your goals and interests. Platforms such as Facebook, Discord or Slack can be used to communicate and collaborate while creating leaderboards and rewards systems for the group.

3 Gamification pitfalls

Gamification can be a useful tool for managing e-learning deadlines, but it can also have some drawbacks or risks if not used properly or ethically. To avoid these pitfalls, you should balance extrinsic rewards with intrinsic rewards, such as learning for pleasure, curiosity, or mastery. Additionally, you should choose gamification strategies that match your learning needs, preferences, and context, and that respect your agency and identity. Furthermore, you should monitor your progress, performance, and emotions to adjust your gamification strategies accordingly. Seeking feedback from instructors, peers, or mentors can also be helpful if needed.

A reserved approach may be needed when looking to implement Gamification in courses and structure programs as it may lead to students achieving badges, rather than recognising the learning, and the understanding of the topic area is covered. in some places, Gamification may inhibit learning as it may not be a naturally occurring opportunity and therefore may make the learning and the understanding for the student more complicated.
