Different between Gamification And Game-Based Learning
What Is Gamification?
Gamification uses game mechanics and design principles to motivate and engage students and assist them in reaching their objectives.
Salient Features
The whole learning process is turned into a game.
2.To encourage and interest learners, game mechanics and aspects are included in the information that already existing.
3.A set of activities with rewards of some kind must be included (but not necessarily with a clear learning purpose).
There are a lot of key principals that used in gamification -Points, levels, rewards, leaderboard, achievement badges, feedback loops, conditions
It is more easier and cheaper to introduce gamification in learning.
Benefits Of Gamification
1.It increases teamwork, enjoyment, memory, focus, productivity, creativity, and careful decision-making.
It's an excellent approach to track progress, give quick feedback and satisfaction, and modify or boost certain behaviors.
.
When To Use Gamification

When you wish to encourage creativity and assist students in developing specialized abilities.
When you wish to engage the learners while promoting the spirit of competitiveness.
To provide the learners how to track their own progress.
Best Practices For Designing Gamification
Keep the game mechanics and structure easy to understand and easy to follow
Make that gamification is in line with the objectives of learning and business needs.
Maintain clear and basic rules, as well as simple-to-understand leaderboards, to make for easier scoring and winning.
What Is Game-Based Learning?
In a learning environment created by teachers, students use game-based learning to explore important game elements.
Salient Features
Games are used to help in the learning process in game-based learning.
Game-based learning is aimed at teaching a specific skill or achieving a specific learning outcome.
Game-based learning includes the content which is created to fit the story and scenes of the game.
It helps in drawing the learners into the relevant virtual environments that they are familiar with.
It is usually difficult and expensive to build game-based learning.
Benefits Of Game-Based Learning
motivate and influence the learners in a positive way.
Helps in providing context and engaging the learners.
It helps in rememorizing the concepts in a fun way.
It reinforces and consolidates the knowledge in a friendly environment.
When To Use Game-Based Learning?
When you want to repackage existing academic content.
When you wish to promote critical and strategic thinking amongst the learners.
When you want to engage and motivate the learners who are otherwise not engaged.
When you want to support the struggling learners in learning better.
Best Practices For Designing Game-Based Learning
More focus on learning objectives.
Achieve the ideal balance between challenge and accessibility: the task shouldn't be overly simple or too complex because it can cause learners to lose interest.
Make the games interactive ,fun and immersive so that the learners can remain focused on the goals and objectives
Example of game based learning
-You would use an application like Prodigy Math. In this game, players explore a fantasy world where they complete quests, take part in magic battles and collect in-game "Pets". To progress, students must answer standards-aligned questions set by their teacher.
