Project illustration: Digital innovation and gamification for teaching, outreach, and software engineering

Overview

Ongoing project. Period: 2021-Present.

This project brings together research, development, and applied work on digital innovation and gamification in teaching, science outreach, and software engineering contexts. It works as an umbrella initiative for studies and products that investigate how digital environments, indicators, motivational profiles, gamified experiences, and interactive resources can support learning, engagement, collaboration, and knowledge dissemination.

At CEDIS, this line connects Software Engineering courses, undergraduate research, educational products, and science outreach experiences, while keeping a strong relationship with active learning, learning analytics, gamification, and software engineering.

Objectives

The main objectives are to:

  • investigate gamification models and processes applied to teaching, science outreach, and software engineering practice;
  • develop and evaluate digital products that support learning, class monitoring, progression, feedback, and engagement;
  • structure indicators and instruments to support evidence-based pedagogical decisions; and
  • turn research outcomes into reusable tools, materials, and experiences for academic and institutional contexts.

Connected fronts include:

  • gamified experiences for science outreach, including Galactic Journey ;
  • platforms and methods for monitoring, designing, and analyzing gamified experiences, such as OctaAnalysis and EduTrack ;
  • products supporting software engineering education, including DevDog , Git Ranking , and MoodleGam ; and
  • studies on motivational profiling, learning indicators, and personalization of educational environments.
