Gamification

Gamification is the use of game design elements and principles in contexts such as education. Within the Student Portal, you can find game principles such as earning virtual points and completing a series of tasks or activities to advance to the next level.

The theory behind gamification in education is that students learn better when they are also having fun and are truly engaged. Not only that – they learn better when they have goals, targets and achievements to reach, of course, in a way they find interesting and motivating.

Through game-based elements such as scoring, peer competition, teamwork, challenges to boost engagement and more, gamification in education helps students absorb new information, acquire skills and test their knowledge.

As a result, undergraduate and postgraduate students enjoy a much more dynamic education, with features such as redeeming points for prizes, achievement badges and even a collaborative competition system among classmates.
