Gamifying an Artificial Intelligence Course in Engineering Education

摘要

Students' motivation and engagement are important factors for actual learning. By using game-thinking and game elements in an education context we can attract learners' attention, increase their motivation and engage them to participate more actively in their learning process. In this work we present a gamified experience to teach Artificial Intelligence to computer science engineers. The inclusion of a competition and other game elements in the course has proved to be fun for the students, they attend more to class, they look for the continuous improvement of their work, no one copies and the level of assignments handed in is high.
