Any startups gamifying learning?

What are the benefits of gamifying education? Why is it better than traditional education (lectures, videos, textbooks)

Gamifying adds an artificial layer of motivation unto the educational experience. Some people accept this artificiality; others don't. You need to know if your target audience will.
