Gamification of learning experiences

Grant Name
SIT Advancement for Learning and Teaching (SALT)

Abstract

Gamification of students’ learning experience is rarely practised. Yet, gamification has been shown to effectively generate students’ innate motivation to participate in learning. Based on the “Octalysis Framework” established by Yu-kai Chou, focus group discussions will be conducted with students, to develop relevant teaching & learning examples that would situate well in the SIT context.

Moreover, through interviews with industry members, this project seeks to ascertain meaningful competencies that are transferrable to the workplace, thereby developing a workplace competency framework, which would further complement the gamification ability. The findings will be translated to a list of teaching and learning activities to be incorporated into selected modules taught by SIT faculty.
