Abstract
Watching training videos passively leads to superficial learning. Adding gamification can increase engagement. We study how software engineering students and industry practitioners view gamifying video-based training. We conducted a survey with students and professionals. Students and professionals share similar perceptions toward video-based training in general and support combining gamification and video-based training. Our findings can inform the design of gamified training solutions for software engineers.
