Comparing the Use of Gamification and Non-Gamification on User Experience in Multimedia Learning Applications

This Zenodo deposit contains research outputs for a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) comparing gamified and non-gamified multimedia learning applications. The review follows PRISMA 2020 and analyzes 30 peer-reviewed articles (2021–2026). ## Files1. Paper.pdf — Main SLR manuscript2. SLR_Extraction_Matrix.xlsx — Extraction matrix for 30 studies3.
