mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">Technology Enhanced
Learning (TEL) is a very broad and increasingly mature research field. It
encompasses a variety of research topics, ranging from the study of different
pedagogical approaches, teaching techniques and strategies for online learning
to the application of advanced technologies in educational settings (e.g.,
different kinds of mobile devices, sensors and sensor networks that provide the
technical foundation for context-aware, ubiquitous learning). The TEL community
has also been exploring the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies and
techniques for the development of intelligent learning environments capable of
adapting to the learners’ needs and preferences and providing learners with
personalized learning experience. Recognizing the potential of online social
networks, social media and Web-based social software tools as learning
platforms for online education, the TEL community has poured significant time
and effort into researching how these popular technologies could be combined with
appropriate pedagogical approaches to make learning experience more engaging,
satisfying and successful. Among the most important results of these research
efforts are personal learning environments that allow learners to create
mash-ups of diverse social software tools based on their own needs and
preferences, as well as to create and maintain their online learning networks.
Undeniably, technological advances are making education more accessible to an
increasing number of people worldwide; to fully exploit the huge benefit the
technology is offering, the TEL community is exploring efficient approaches for
adapting learning resources to address language, generation and cultural
specificities. Aiming to make learning accessible to all, the community has also
focused on the development of solutions for learners with special needs.
Finally, it should be noted that all the above mentioned research efforts of
the TEL community are finding their applications in different learning contexts
and domains, including formal education and informal learning, as well as
workplace learning in small, medium and large companies.</span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">As can be seen from
this list of topics, one of the areas in TEL is game-based learning.
Researchers have found that educational and/or computer-based games have real
potential as learning tools. It has been shown, for example, that games can
help players to improve their problem solving and negotiation skills, narrative
and communication skills as well as non-linear thinking patterns. Game-based
learning has already been successfully applied to both the school and workplace
settings, and their adoption is continually increasing. In addition, there has
recently been an increasing interest in “gamification” of education as a means
to increase students’ motivation for learning. Gamification refers to the use
of game design elements, or the so-called game mechanics, in non-game contexts
and applications with the aim of increasing users’ engagement with those
applications. Game design elements are often very efficient in increasing
motivation as they are grounded on research results of positive psychology.</span></p>

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222">While educational
games have been studied extensively for years, the gamification of education,
i.e., the application of game mechanics in online learning environments with
the aim of motivating learners to engage with the contents, activities and
tools offered by these environments, is an emerging research area that has just
started to attract the attention of education-oriented research communities.
Regardless of their maturity, both research areas face many interesting and
challenging research questions, among which, for the special section on
“Game-based Learning: Design and Applications”, the most interesting are those
related to motivation as one of the key determinants of successful learning and
knowledge building activities, both in academic and workplace settings.
