Work in progress: Towards a generic platform for implementing gamified learning arrangements in engineering education

This contribution discusses problems of existing gamified learning platforms as a result of an analysis and reveals a research gap that is addressed using a domain-specific modeling (DSM) approach. Foundations of the DSM approach are described and our vision to use it for improving the creation, adaptability, and extensibility of platforms as well as the exchange of promising gamified learning concepts. Early results are presented and steps ahead are shown.
