  • Patent number: 10026331
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for designing and shaping student experience in an academic course by using a server system and a plurality of remote mobile devices. The educational experience design system registers completion of challenges by text completion codes or quick response bar code reader located on the mobile device processor to credit experience points or debit experience points to purchase course privileges. The course instructor specifies challenge completion codes originating in a plurality of sources resulting in an immersive feedback learning environment. The educational experience design system updates data from external peer instruction systems and from external content systems. The immersive feedback environment, based on open-ended earning of experience points, as well as spending such experience points, shapes student experience in the course based on intrinsic motivation theories.

  • Publication number: 20170116872
    Abstract: Educational Gamification System and Gameful Teaching Process creates a unique learning experience for each student within a course by providing optional activities and challenges tracked not by grades, but by experience points. The unique experience allows students to find their feeling of flow between boredom of too easy tasks and anxiety of tasks too difficult. Using experience points is a gameful thinking approach, which mitigates the high stakes and pressure of grades, creates a wide field for trial and error to produce a safe-failure environment. The experience points become a currency in the course to be exchanged for various course privileges like late assignments. While the experience points are not translated into grades, the experience points lead to better grades by promoting practice, repetition, and exploration of the course content. The system of missions and experience points is tracked in a mobile app connected to a cloud database and Internet infrastructure.
