Gamification, whereby users are engaged in pre-assigned activities induced by game elements, is gaining interest among researchers and practitioners. While it has been touted that enterprise gamified information systems (ISs) can successfully tempt users, ensuring sustainable user engagement has been identified as a major challenge for organizations that have adopted the gamification ideas. Des...

Gamification studies in the educational domain usually focus on motivating students to increase their learning performance by enhancing motivation. Classifications of behavioural profiles are often used for this (referred as “gamer” or “user types”), which support personalization students’ experiences.
