Dr. Fakhrul Yusoff, of IEEE Malaysia Section

Enjoyment is one of the most prominent values in learning, and is among the most desired experiential qualities for satisfying users. Myriad approaches have been implemented and researched for bringing enjoyment to the learning process, and one of them is the emergence of a new approach called gamification. It emphasizes the use of points, badges, and other virtual rewards, as well as the use of dynamic and aesthetic elements brought by digital games to be used in the non-entertainment area. Gamification has potential in many fields. While the gamification concept has been vastly explored for user engagement towards certain interventions or behavior, it is no doubt that gamification also promotes the effects of enjoyment to the users, a topic less discussed in previous studies and should be explored further.
