Abstract
E-learning, technology-assisted education has become a recognized and widespread educational tool in today’s society. This transition allowed to the domain to import ideas from other domains of the digital world. Among those, the concept of gamification has quickly become one of the central tools to for keeping learners engaged. This paper proposes a gamification approach for collaborative simulation-based learning. It introduces a simple and flexible model for introducing gamification mechanisms for collaborative simulation-based learning. The work is applied to a business process simulator developed in the context of the Learn PAd project aiming at providing a learning platform for workers in public administrations.
