Gamification and game-based learning are often confused, but they have different objectives and implementation methods. Gamification involves applying game design techniques to engage and motivate learners, turning the learning process into a game and using game mechanics and elements. Game-based learning, on the other hand, incorporates actual games into the learning process to teach specific skills or achieve learning outcomes. Both approaches have benefits and can be used in different situations to enhance the learning experience.
