Games do teach
I think Ruth Clark’s provides a great service in presenting what the research says on elearning, starting with her highly recommended book  eLearning and the Science of Instruction.

Using Games and Avatars to Change Learner Behavior

Games & elearning
The typical mindset about using design game elements in elearning is “We don’t have that kind of budget!” You can design game elements in a modest budget. Focus on the game elements that you can use in your elearning application. Which game elements can you use in your elearning application? Remember though that game-based approach is only another approach and not necessarily the only approach.
