Introduction:
Gamification uses game elements and game techniques in non-game context,
e.g., to encourage engagement with a product or service. In recent years,
gamification has become one of the major trends in information systems.
Its market is growing with presence penetrating various vertical sectors
such as Entertainment, Healthcare, Retail, Education, Tourism, and IT
enterprises. This book, dedicated to cover various topics of gamification
technologies and applications in various industry sectors, methodologies
of developing such applications, and development trend, will provide
readers a comprehensive introduction of gamification, its techniques,
technologies and various applications.
Book content:
This book is intended to serve as the instruction materials to students in
gamification relevant courses with invited contributions from known
experts in the field and contributions from who would respond to this
call. It can also be interesting to other casual audiences who are curious

Effective immersive learning experiences are created within multiple media using myriad techniques and employing a wealth of knowledge that spans many disciplines. This includes but is not limited to computer science, user experience and media design, the learning sciences, architecture, game development, artificial intelligence, biology, medicine, and the thousands of disciplinary and occupational content areas wherein immersive learning and training may be relevant.
The Immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) is an international organization of developers, educators, and research professionals collaborating to develop a scientific, technical, and applied potential of immersive learning. The vision of the immersive Learning Research Network (iLRN) is to develop a comprehensive research and outreach agenda that encompasses the breadth and scope of learning potentialities, affordances and challenges of immersive learning environments. The first international conference iLRN 2015 held in Prague has attracted 22 high-quality full papers from the iLRN main stream but also from the special tracks. As a follow-up, this special issue is organized as an open call to seek a wider set of contributions from the research community and also the authors of the best papers from iLRN 2015 will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers.
Thus, we are pleased to invite authors to submit their original work to a special issue of the Journal on Transactions on Future Intelligent Educational Environments (http://icst.org/future-intelligent-educational-environments/). For authors to submit extended version of their conference papers, a signification extension of at least 30% must be considered.
This special issue welcomes submissions on (but not limited to) the following topics:
• Immersive Technologies, Systems and Devices
• Immersive Environments and Multidimensional Spaces
• Immersive Data Visualizations
• Wearable Technology
• Virtual and mixed-reality for education
• Collaboration and Social Computing in Education
• Context-aware Computing in Immersive Spaces
• Adaptive Recommender Learning Technology
• Assessment and Learning Analytics in High-tech Environments
• Multi-modal Learning Environments
• Cognitive and Pedagogical Analysis
• Learning and Training Applications
• Non-leisure Games and Gamification
• A Glance into the Future: Innovations, Challenges and Applications
How to Submit
Please see the instructions for authors on the EAI Endorsed Transactions on Future Intelligent Educational Environments, http://eai.eu/transaction/future-intelligent-educational-environments.
