Abstract :
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the existing Internet-based learning (IBL) literature as it pertains to health professions education to draw on common interpretations, and to propose a framework to implement IBL within the area of health professions education. Central to our approach is the incorporation of gamification within IBL to promote greater levels of engagement and motivation and thus enhance the learning experience.
