Making it Game-Like: Topolor 2 and Gamified Social E-Learning

This paper briefly introduces Topolor 2, a social personalised adaptive e-learning environment with novel gamification features, aiming at reducing undesirable 'noise' effects of social interaction and at further improving the learning experience. The goal of this paper is to showcase the main gamified social interaction features.
