The authors synthesize research and practice in the field of gamification (also called gamified, or gameful, learning) in education, with particular attention to how the mechanics of games (e.g. , action points, quests, dynamic difficulty adjustment, blockchains) can be integrated into course design and assessment, even without turning on a computer, and why instructors might want to, even if they are not gamers themselves.  \nKeywords: Gamification, gamified learning, gameful learning, game mechanics, action points, quest chains, learning currency  \nWhat Is Gameful Learning?  \nEven those not familiar with the term likely participate in gamification as part of their everyday lives. Popularized in 2010, the term gamification was coined to describe the increasing use of games or game mechanics outside of the gaming world (Deterding, Dixon, Khaled, & Nacke, 2011; Mora, Riera, Gonzalez, & Arnedo-Moreno, 2015) . Marketers were especially quick to pick up on the concept, and gamified programs such as user rewards, photo opportunities, and location-based social media have become commonplace (Huotari & Hamari, 2012) . The success of early adopters has fueled demand for gamification programs across multiple industries, and researchers predict that global revenue from allgamification services will top 11 billion by 2020 ( Research & Markets, 2016) .  \nBusiness leaders are not the only ones to take note of gamification. Educators, too, have explored gamification as a means of bridging generation gaps, fostering motivation, and meeting students where they are; that is, online and immersed in games and gamification (Buckley & Doyle, 2016; EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, 2011; Huang & Soman, 2013; Kapp, 2012) . Widespread adoption has been hampered by the term’s association with marketing, suggesting that gamified strategies may be shallow or transient, and with gaming, suggesting that gamification should be relegated to the world of entertainment, the latter leading to the adoption of the modifier serious to refer to games with purposes beyond fun (Connolly, Boyle, MacArthur, Hainey, & Boyle, 2012; Dale, 2014; Fuchs, Fizek, Ruffino, &  \nSchrape, 2014) . These negative associations have led others to suggest creating distance from the muchhyped phenomenon by adopting the term gameful to refer to either teaching strategies or instructional design related to games (Chelsea, 2012) .  \nAlthough the two terms are often used interchangeably, they actually represent two different approaches to education. Proponents of gamification, or gamified learning, suggest embellishing an existing course by adding game elements, such as leaderboards (to provide incentives); points or a score (to track progress on leaderboards); trophies, badges, or achievements (to reward productivity); and quests (to scaffold tasks) . Gameful learning, on the other hand, refers to integrating the underlying mechanics, or properties, of games, including elements such as user choice, emotional narratives, immediate feedback, and learning from failure, into the fundamental design of a course (Chelsea, 2012; Fishman et al. , 2013) .  \nThere are many common misconceptions about gamification and gameful learning. Despite their names, neither focuses on the use of games in the classroom. Instructors can use serious and effective educational games in their courses to teach a wide variety of topics (Michael & Chen, 2005) . The use of such games is not new.
