Methodology & assessment

In this course on gamification in education, our methodology centers on integrating gaming principles to optimize learning outcomes. We emphasize designing interactive, goal-oriented experiences, employing elements such as challenges, competition, rewards, and storytelling to foster engagement and active participation. Through formative and summative assessments, we evaluate learners based on their performance in game-based activities, problem-solving abilities, collaboration, and application of knowledge within a gamified educational context. By adopting this approach, we aim to cultivate a dynamic learning environment that taps into the inherent motivation and enjoyment associated with games while achieving educational objectives.
