Meaningful Gamification of a Computer Science Department: Considerations and Challenges
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gamification presents an opportunity to model and guide the enculturation process of computer science undergraduates. It can also make the matriculation journey more engaging for a broader range of students if done correctly. This paper looks at design considerations, potential benefits and the challenges with implementing meaningful gamification in a department of computer science. It describes the underlying theories of motivation and fun in gamification as well as the application of Werbach’s gamification framework to gamifying a Computer Science department.

The present study was conducted to identify the challenges of applying gamification in OTD. The present study is an applied study with a qualitative approach. At first, the documents related to the gamification were collected. Initially, 325 scientific documents were identified using the keyword of gamification (2011-2019) 37 of which were selected as the study sample. Then, in order to underst...
متن کاملTowards an Applied Gamification Model for Tracking, Managing, & Encouraging Sustainable Travel Behaviours
In this paper we introduce a gamification model for encouraging sustainable multi-modal urban travel in modern European cities. Our aim is to provide a mechanism that encourages users to reflect on their current travel behaviours and to engage in more environmentally friendly activities that lead to the formation of sustainable, long-term travel behaviours. To achieve this our users track their...
متن کاملStatic Coil Design Considerations for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging
One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...
