Description

This project aims to study the use of gamification to encourage student classroom participation. To this end we will analyze the features of different free tools now available for common cell phones and tablets (e.g. Socrative or Kahoot). We will also design dynamic questionnaires, to be filled in individually or in groups, that will allow us to get people's votes and rankings. These competitive challenges have as the main goal that students take an active part in class and get public recognition among their peers, at the same time the teacher evaluates the general evolution of the students.
