The final component, caring, can also be broken downinto two components: academic caring and personal caring. Academic caring deals with studentsbelieving that their instructor cares about their academic success.4,5 The benefit of a gamifiedlearning environment is that feedback is given to students throughout their participation to letthem know if they are doing well, or what areas should be improved upon.
