A multimedia adventure presented in which they had to solve awareness challenges manipulation achieve final goal. observation recorded evaluation model, allowing analysis pre- post-intervention data after triangulation subsequent qualitative analysis. results show improvement as well gamified marks. These promising outcomes support such methodologies learner-centered education model.
