Hello Szymon. In addition to those mentioned by Walt Scacchi Walt Scacchi, some articles were discussed in our recent course, a Human Factors Research Seminar (IE656) at Purdue.  5 of the top 8 cited papers reviewed that semester were related to gamification and may be of interest.  They can be seen by following the link in RG project shown below. https://www.researchgate.net/project/IE656-Research-Seminar-in-Human-Factors

Walt Scacchi and Vincent G. Duffy ,

Thank you for the articles. Great reads. I'd like to reciprocate with these:

Patent Patent: Educational gamification system and gameful teaching process

Article Gamification Strategies in a Hybrid Exemplary College Course

https://www.researchgate.net/project/Gamification-of-College-Introductory-Courses

Thank you!

Benedikt Morschheuser and Juho Hamari are two additional researchers that have done interesting work in systematizing and analyzing gamification.  They are based in Europe and have published widely in international journals and conferences.

Vincent G. Duffy,

Thank you for the hint. I just followed them. My all time favorite is this Google talk by Sebastian Deterding : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZGCPap7GkY&index=34&t=0s&list=PLAp8l9zV14TYH55112vQfgabnG11v43WI

Thanks Alexander Bartel .

Deniz Eseryel does research on Gamification in STEM. You may follow her at the ResearchGate to see her pubs.

Cheers,

Yeliz.

Thanks U. Yeliz Eseryel

I have done a research project in this area focusing on facilitating intrinsic motivation in an undergraduate Multimedia degree through gameful design.

You can find the details of the project on my profile.

Hi

I have published several papers on improving SE and IS final projects via gamification. You can contact me for further info. I have also conducted several gamification workshops in the design phase of the projects.

Thank you Annique and Naomi.

Hi, I have done research in the field of educational technologies, in the teaching of geometric solids with the use of augmented reality and gamification.

You can find more details here: Chapter Mobile Learning: Benefits of Augmented Reality in Geometry Teaching

Hi, I suggest you to follow the Breaking Educational Barriers with Contextualised, Pervasive and Gameful Learning - @BEACONING project. The project focus on ‘anytime anywhere’ learning by exploiting pervasive, context-aware and gamified techniques and technologies, framed under the Problem-Based Learning approach. You can find further details at: https://beaconing.eu/

Hello,

I suggest to read my paper:

Pellas, N., Konstantinou, N., Kazanidis, I. & Georgiou, G. (2016). Exploring the educational potential of three-dimensional multi-user virtual worlds for STEM education: A mixed-method systematic literature review. Education & Information Technologies, 22(5), 2235-2279.

I have also a draft copy in my profile, so feel free to check it.

Kind regards

NP

Hi, you should check out the PhD thesis of Johanna Pirker (TU Graz, Austria)! She did a nice physics lab simulation in VR.

For gamifying activities in Computer Science Education, check out Tim Bell's Computer Science Unplugged approach, just search for it on YouTube, there's tons of material.

I also wrote a paper (and a simulation) for virtualizing one of these activities on Finite State Machines, I can send you the software if you're interested Conference Paper Seeking the Treasures of Theoretical Computer Science Educat...
