Abstract

The aim of the paper is to introduce how to implement gamification elements into an online digital platform to create a digital, user experience based university course. First a brief introduction to gamification, game design elements and advantages are introduced. To understand the advantages of the different game elements (e.g. points, leaderboards, freedom of choice) to use, pilot tests were held for 2 semesters, in which 118 and 156 students participated. In these pilots, some of the course elements were tested in offline and some in an online environment. These course modules were planned with the aim to work as game elements and had been changes made for the second course. In addition, the currently used gamified educational platforms had been examined, in focus of different game design elements. The introduced possibilities will help for university teachers to implement and use gamification in their courses to create a higher engagement among students. Moreover, a new framework will be introduced to support the planning of an online user experience based university course. This framework combines game design elements (e.g. rules, feedbacks, rewards) and the theories of user experience.
