TL;DR: A detailed taxonomy that can be used to design and evaluate gamification design in learning environments and is divided into five dimensions, related to the learner and the learning environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a taxonomy of game elements employed in gamified learning environments through a previously proposed and evaluated taxonomy while detailing and expanding this taxonomy, which can be used to design and evaluate gamification design in learning environments.

TL;DR: The main contribution of this paper is proposing a new, confirmed taxonomy to standardise the terminology used to define the game elements as a mean to design and deploy gamification strategies in the educational domain.

TL;DR: The results show that the narrative element definition to use in gamification contexts best drifts from the games ones, however its definition is unique to the point it could be isolated and used in future frameworks.

TL;DR: This study investigates how user orientation is associated with the preference for and perceived sense of accomplishment from different gamification designs, and provides recommendations on how to personalize gamified systems and set further research trajectories on personalized gamification.
