Brief description of the course
Gamification in Education has been shown to improve engagement in students and lead to better outcomes in student learning and business applications. However Gamification is often misapplied or poorly designed leading to less than optimal outcomes. When correctly designed Gamification offers a method of motivating players and even changing behaviours.
The course will first define Gamification and then move on to examine how to design and implement a gamified system.
