Moving beyond the hype : a contextualised view of learning with technology in higher education. Pretoria : Universities South Africa.One needs to make a distinction between the use of games in education and gamification. Games are common ways of passing the time and having fun.

These elements can take many different forms, from short activities done in a face-to-face setting to large, open-ended digital experiences that are technology driven.en© 2015, Universities South Africa.
