In this article, we present the iterative design of an Afrocentric e-learning system. To ensure cultural inclusivity and promote effective student learning, gamification principles, frameworks, and theories are integrated into the design. So far, an interactive prototype has been created and a user evaluation is on the research agenda. This work contributes to designing for underrepresented populations and serves as a lens to examine user preferences when user behaviours are tracked during user evaluation. This is the first step towards developing an AI-driven adaptive and socio-culturally sensitive e-learning system that uses machine learning models to control personalized content delivery, learning adaptation, and user engagement.
