ABSTRACT
Quality distant education has received growing scientific attention in the recent decades, which is accelerated in present times as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; traditional in-class teaching methods needed a rapid transformation to be effective in a distant educational context as well, to reduce the existing and deepening digital divide. Convinced by the "FAIR-principles" and the "CARE" Standard, the present paper searches for gamified applicational examples in forecasting and business studies. Through the discussion of the presently existing literature reviews in this domain, the article sheds light upon the development and current scientific standing of this research area. During the search for ethical implications, the present paper aims to formulate future considerations, believing in the idea that gamification, holding the possibility of successful individual outcomes for learners in knowledge acquisition and also in the form of psychological benefits, could serve as a tool for humanity to reach a global society where no one is left behind.
