ABSTRACT
Microlearning efforts may be met with the same lack of enthusiasm full-fledged learning interventions are often met with. So, how can the designers of microlearning content increase the odds of favorably engaging learner audiences? Gamification may provide the key. Gamification is the application of game mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics in non-gaming contexts. Many game design frameworks are used in the making of serious games and educational games. This chapter provides an overview of several gamification frameworks, presents strategies for combining gamified approaches with microlearning, and addresses foundational design elements of gamified microlearning.
