Background: Gamification is the process of adding game elements into classroom activities to encourage student participation and motivation. Classcraft is a gamified learning system designed to integrate easily with normal classroom activities and to enhance collaboration and teamwork.
Educational Activity And Setting: This study explored the use of the Classcraft system in an Immunology and Immunization Training course, specifically examining students' motivation to use the system and potential impacts on their motivation.
Findings: Results showed that value and enjoyment motivated students to use Classcraft. Furthermore,the ease of use of the system positively impacted students' enjoyment of the system. Students' choice regarding how much they were required to engage with the system positively impacted the value and enjoyment that they experienced with the system.
Summary: Students' demonstrated motivation to use Classcraft provides a foundation for further research into the use of gamified learning systems within pharmacy classrooms. Research is needed to understand if use of a gamified learning system positively impacts learning outcomes.

Introduction: High-value cost-conscious care (HVCCC) education has been shown to reduce wasteful health care spending. Incorporating HVCCC into a medical school curriculum can be challenging due to limited curricular time. We explored the feasibility of medical students creating HVCCC peer education within existing platforms at a single urban academic medical school.

This study introduces a framework that integrates AI-driven Game-Based Language Teaching (GBLT) with advanced neuroscience to transform language education for visually impaired learners. Built on the principles of neuroplasticity and epigenetics, the approach leverages educational psychology with the help of adaptive AI to deliver personalized, gamified learning experiences that reshape neural pathways, improve memory retention, and strengthen emotional resilience. By fostering low-stress, immersive environments, it triggers positive epigenetic changes, enhancing long-term cognitive flexibility.

As a subset of active learning, gamification involves the application of gaming principles as a means of improving student outcomes in the classroom. Recent work has shown that such active learning strategies may be particularly effective at reducing the rate of failure in STEM courses. In this retrospective case study, I examined the effects on student exam performance, rate of failure, and perception of instruction following a semester-long course improvement project that involved implementing a novel tabletop style roleplaying game () during lab sessions in an undergraduate neuroanatomy course.

The increasing need to address climate change has intensified efforts to promote green transportation options, such as cycling and public transit. Over the past few decades, gamification-the integration of game-like elements into non-game contexts to motivate and engage people in adopting new behaviors-has emerged as a strategy to encourage the use of sustainable transportation. This literature review examines how gamification has been used to drive the adoption of green transportation.
