The gamification of ERP – A value creation tool for educators

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are vital tools for global firms, and graduates are increasingly expected to possess hands-on technical knowledge of these integrated systems. However, traditional academic teaching often fails to meet learning outcomes effectively. This research assesses feedback from a massive sample of 17,015 students who utilized MonsoonSim, a game-based learning platform built on SAP ERP knowledge. This qualitative research aims to evaluate: (1) student motivation, (2) the preference for incorporating gamification into the syllabus, and (3) a comparison between game-based learning and traditional teaching methods. The study explores how gamification serves as a disruptive yet valuable tool for modern educators.
