The emphasis will be on aligning these approaches with learning objectives, supporting student motivation, and creating interactive learning environments that encourage participation and critical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The session will reflect on the opportunities and limitations of gamification from a teaching and learning perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speakers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Iv\u00e1n Bonilla<\/strong>, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, Spain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/content.media-and-learning.eu\/node\/3204\/lightbox2\" target=\"_blank\" data-lity>Janne L\u00e4nsitie<\/a><\/strong>, Oulu University of Applied Sciences, Finland<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/content.media-and-learning.eu\/node\/4065\/lightbox2\" target=\"_blank\" data-lity>Julian Van der Kraats<\/a><\/strong>, Leiden University, the Netherlnads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moderator: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/content.media-and-learning.eu\/node\/3904\/lightbox2\" target=\"_blank\" data-lity>Jeremy Nelson<\/a><\/strong>, University of Michigan, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presentations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle wp-block-ub-content-toggle-block\" id=\"ub-content-toggle-block-098897eb-2fe5-4949-8516-421a0290d119\" data-mobilecollapse=\"false\" data-desktopcollapse=\"false\" data-preventcollapse=\"false\" data-showonlyone=\"false\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-content-toggle-accordion\" style=\"border-color: #f1f1f1;
