Towards an Ontology for Gamifying Collaborative Learning Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gamification is an interesting and relatively new concept. The concept of Gamification is more than just game playing; it is about introducing game design elements in a proper way to satisfy individual motivational needs according to personality traits. Researcher and Educators are currently looking at Gamification to deal with the problem of learner engagement and motivation in Collaborative Learning (CL). To address this issue, we have been developing an Ontology for Gamifying CL Scenarios (OntoGaCLeS). In this paper, we present the main ontological structure used to support the personalization of game design elements in CL contexts. To demonstrate its use, we show the personalization of a gamified CL scenario through a case study.

Looking Into Collaborative Learning: Design from Macro- and Micro-Script Perspectives
Design of collaborative learning (CL) scenarios is a complex task, but necessary if the goal of the collaboration is learning. Creating well-thought-out CL scenarios requires experience and knowledge about different learning/ instructional theories and practices related to collaboration. Inexperienced designers, who may not have all the needed knowledge to formulate pedagogically sound collabor...
متن کاملA Common Model of Didactic and Collaborative Learning for Theory-Aware Authoring Support
This paper proposes an ontological model that is a flexible framework to create learning scenarios blending didactic and collaborative learning. This model enables us to describe the design rationale of such learning scenarios and to organize theoretical knowledge for designing such scenarios in the same manner.
متن کاملIncluding collaborative learning designs in a Learning Object Repository
A learning object repository (or LOR) is presented as a mechanism which facilitates the organisation and reuse of collaborative learning scenarios, using metadata and ontologies. The main design concern here is making it easy for authors and learners to work with the LOR while creating or using learning environments. Three views of the repository are proposed: a reusable storage structure, a dy...

متن کاملAn Ontology Framework to Apply Gamification in CSCL Scenarios as Persuasive Technology
The use of Computer-Support Collaborative Learning (CSCL) scripts is an effective approach to support meaningful interactions and better learning. Unfortunately, in some situations, scripted collaboration decreases the motivation and engagement of students, which makes more difficult to use it over time. To deal with this problem, we propose to apply gamification as Persuasive Technology (PT) t...
