This session introduces students to gamification, covering game mechanics (points, levels, badges, leaderboards) and the differences between game-based and gamified learning. Students explore platforms like Kahoot, Quizizz, Blooket, and Wordwall, and learn to design subject-based mini-games that balance challenge and motivation for effective learning.

Lecturer explains game mechanics and differences between game-based vs gamified learning with examples.
In groups, students explore Kahoot, Quizizz, Blooket, or Wordwall features and discuss classroom applications.
Students create a quick quiz or activity on one platform and share it with others in the forum for their feedback.
In groups, students create a mini learning activity using gamification elements such as points, badges, or levels. They arrange the steps to ensure progression and engagement, then share their activity for peer feedback and refine it based on suggestions.
Students outline a subject-based mini-game including objectives, mechanics, and rewards.
Students share their activity in the discussion forum, receive feedback from peers, and make improvements based on the suggestions.
Students research 2 examples of educational games or gamified activities relevant to their subject. They analyse each example’s effectiveness, engagement, learning outcomes, and accessibility, comparing which are most successful and why. Students then present their findings in a report, infographic, or presentation and provide feedback on peers’ analyses.
