By Víctor ArufeGiráldez, Rubén Navarro-Patón and Alberto Sanmiguel-Rodríguez

Abstract

“This chapter addresses the elements to consider for creating a gamified learning environment in higher education, specifically in the university classroom. It investigates various didactic proposals for gamification at the university made by different authors in recent years, the variables they have addressed in their study, how they have been evaluated, and the most relevant findings. It is intended to develop a text that will serve as a basis for many scholars in education and gamification, which casts its own light on gamification in higher education, presenting its strengths and weaknesses and offering clear ideas and strategies to get the maximum educational potential to gamification.”
