This article focuses on the necessity and inevitability of introduction of the elements of gamification in the educational process to prevent the outflow of students from colleges or universities due to the lack of interest in obtaining the knowledge by the traditional forms of education. The authors share their experience of gamification in the educational ecosystem using a free online platform Trello Board, which provides a broad range of features to control students, maintain their level of motivation for further learning as well as develop students’ autonomy, collaboration, and higher order skills (HOTs).
