Abstract: Abstract One of the most interesting and disruptive trends in the current elearning scenario is gamification, that is, the use of game design elements in non-game contexts. This paper provides a definition of gamification in the educational field and an overview of its applications. It then discusses the existing studies on the effectiveness of gamifiction for learning purposes, focusing on their impact on students’ attitude, knowledge and behavior. Finally, it highlights the main gaps in the current literature, pointing to new directions of research.
