Game mechanics and dynamics for learning
This badge is awarded to participants who completed the “Gamification in Education – Session 2” of the KVAK Project and successfully submitted the interactive activity.
In this session, participants explored core game mechanics and dynamics, including points, badges, quests, levels, and leaderboards. They learned how to align these elements with learning objectives and use digital badges to support motivation and recognition. Moreover, through the badge activity, participants demonstrated their ability to apply game mechanics creatively and intentionally to enhance learning and engagement.
