Introduction
Generation Z often spends nights playing online games. Ever heard of any learner on an online learning platform coming close to that? I doubt it. More than 90% of such learners do not finish or even start the programmes they have registered for! Many who finish do not start another one. The moot question is, why are these students abandoning the ship mid-sea? As Todd Tauber states in Quartz magazine, a plausible answer is that online educators are still thinking about classrooms in online learning.
Statistics indicate that online gamers and online learners are showing upward trends. While online learners are snowballing, showing a 600% increase in enrolments between 2016-21, gamers outnumbered online learners 15:1 in 2021. The charts show unmistakable trendlines.
What if we can bring the zeal and engagement of Gamification to online learning? What if we can make online learning fun?
