A Framework to Adapt Gamification in Learning Environments

Many learning environments are quickly deserted by the learners, even if they are efficient. Gamification appears as a recent game-based learning approach to enhance the learners' motivation. The difficulty with this approach is that people have various expectations from games, and react differently face to specific game mechanics. In order to adapt the game mechanics of the developed game elements, we propose a player model complementary to existing learner models. This model aims to predict to which game mechanics the user is responsive, and is used to adapt the gamified features of the system.
