Learning Experience in OPAL through Gaming Elements- LOS

Gamification and game-based learning - two buzzwords that promise motivational effects in teaching-learning scenarios, but at the same time also arouse skepticism about the increased effort involved in creating these scenarios. The project "Learning Experience in OPAL through Gaming Elements" shows that teaching-learning arrangements can be gamified with (relatively) little effort and that a learning management system (LMS) also offers hidden, but easily usable gamification options. 

Playful OPAL

Based on The Periodic Table of Gamification Elements by A. Marczewski, a periodic table of gaming elements was developed in OPAL - Playful OPAL. It shows which gaming elements can be implemented in the LMS and which tools or course components have to be used for this. For each element, examples are given that allow easy transfer to individual teaching-learning arrangements.

SpielWiese 4 Game-Based Learning in OPAL

Work in Progress - the team of the project "Learning Experience in OPAL through gaming elements" is gradually constructing a course in the LMS OPAL. In addition to general information about game-based learning, gamification, serious games and game thinking, gamified course pages will enable easy application to your own OPAL course. OPAL course - SpielWiese
