Gamification

What do we mean by educational gamification

• Students can play video games in class

• Integrate game elements into course learning to improve students' learning enthusiasm

• Refers to students who can only play games without paying attention to the arduous learning process

Why Do We Need Gamification of Courses

• Gamification of courses can motivate students to participate in the classroom, provide teachers with better tools to guide and reward students, and allow students to fully exert themselves to pursue learning

• By integrating game-based elements into the classroom, students can learn knowledge in different ways and improve their motivation and initiative in learning

• Gamification elements include point system, ranking system, badges, etc

How should we design game-based courses

• Simply design some game levels to attract students

• Game-based courses are a relatively rapidly developing new teaching method in modern times, and their design allows students to actively engage in learning

• Design a series of difficulty gradient levels based on students' skill levels, with corresponding rewards for each level, giving students the opportunity to try again and again

Gamification brings positive impact to students

• Gamification provides students with low risk ways to evaluate their abilities, learns to view failure as an opportunity without becoming anxious and helpless, and improves students' learning motivation

• Gamification can improve students' ability to play games

• Game-based education requires teachers to design and conduct a series of evaluation tests in advance

The negative impact of gamification

• Gamification may absorb teacher resources or cause students to actively learn only if they receive external rewards, and gamification requires a great deal of freedom

• Gamification is a good way for students to improve learning efficiency, but it requires teacher supervision

• Gamification can make it easy for students to learn some boring knowledge

How to add one of the gaming elements "points" to the classroom

• Points are a simple way for teachers to evaluate students' learning progress

• Students can add points to themselves without telling the teacher

• You can earn points by guiding students to actively answer questions, helping others solve problems, or based on progress in grades. Achieving certain points can earn certain rewards
