This project aims to increase the engagem=
ent
and performance of undergraduate students through the
development, implementation, measurement,=
and
assessment of a technology-enabled gamification
intervention. Specifically, the project s=
eeks
to examine whether gamification, through the form of extrinsic
rewards such as badges can be used to
motivate student participation in synchronous and asynchronous
collaborative learning. Badges will be
awarded to students on CANVAS for their engagement on the LMS as=
well as for their in-class participation.
This research contributes to scholarly understanding as to when and<=
/i>
how badges should be used as a form of
gamification in higher education to improve educational outcomes.
Expected outcomes include evidence for a
gamification approach in higher education to motivate students
to engage more deeply in learning, includ=
ing
through LMS activities and peer-to-peer communication, to
increase participation and improve their
educational outcomes.
