AI and Gamification: Adding Fun to Learning
摘要
The advancement of big data technologies allows artificial intelligence to take place in the educational sector. While previous research stresses the potential of personalised learning that could marginally benefit learners than a one-size-fits-all approach, the birth of sophisticated intelligent systems could adhere to the needs of students, by generating learning contents according to their capabilities and structuring a better learning process than traditional form of teaching. And since instant rewards and gratification are favoured by learners of the modern era, the concept of gamification which is the use of game-like elements in non-game contexts (such as education) has been advocated among researchers in recent years. Gamification upholds the limitless potential in generating interest, motivating, engaging, and improving the performance of learners in an educational setting. Thus, the integration of both concepts to form an AI-powered gamification would serve for the betterment of the process of transforming the educational infrastructure in the current future. In this chapter, we aim to explore the potential benefits and practical applications of combining artificial intelligence (AI) and gamification in the field of education.
