Gamification can play a key role in deriving engagement. In the eLearning field, we should add gamification to derive user engagement with learning content.

You can create a fully gamified website in WordPress but, we’re talking about gamification with xAPI Content.

As you know, we have to create eLearning content in tools like Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate. There is no built-in system to issue point or badges.
