Course Objectives: | Students will learn the basics of Gamification with a highly practical approach. Course focuses on how to design gamified experiences in real life areas such as game design, psychology, management, or education. The main goal of the course is to understand the principles of gamification to design experiences that make things more fun and engaging. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Identify basics of gamification. 2. Analyze gamified experiences in real life. 3. Identify principles of gamification. 4. Define game mechanics. 5. Identify systems for tracking in-game changes. 6. Describe critical elements on online experiences. |
This course will teach students the trends, and the frameworks of gamification, how it may be used to apply in IT projects, and how to use it effectively. The course allows students to develop a set of practical skills in using game elements using industrial case studies. Students will understand practical ways for designing a game. |
