“…Another gamification-focused study examined the impact of social learning and gamification methodologies on learning outcomes in higher education. In this framework, students were asked to design, execute, and evaluate a series of learning tasks and games in two consecutive semesters of an undergraduate course [39]. Unlike our study, their [39] study focused on the effects of gamification on education and learning.…”

Unlike our study, their [39] study focused on the effects of gamification on education and learning. In another study in the field of education, a design was developed to increase students' motivation by using a ranking of engagement levels and incorporating gamification to allow students to reinforce learning whenever and wherever they wanted to [40].…”

AI fairness is an essential topic as regards its topical and social-societal implications. However, there are many challenges posed by automating AI fairness. Based on the challenges around automating fairness in texts, our study aims to create a new fairness testing paradigm that can gather disparate proposals on fairness on a single platform, test them, and develop the most effective method, thereby contributing to the general orientation on fairness. To ensure and sustain mass participation in solving the fairness problem, gamification elements are used to mobilize individuals’ motivation. In this framework, gamification in the design allows participants to see their progress and compare it with other players. It uses extrinsic motivation elements, i.e., rewarding participants by publicizing their achievements to the masses. The validity of the design is demonstrated through the example scenario. Our design represents a platform for the development of practices on fairness and can be instrumental in making contributions to this issue sustainable. We plan to further realize a plot application of this structure designed with the gamification method in future studies.

This paper introduces Education Platform for Equivalent Resistance (EDUPERES) and Gamification of Equivalent Resistance (GAMERES), two different parts of a new computer aided education platform with interactive and imaginative design and game elements, which have been created during 4 years. In Vocational School of Transportation of Eskişehir Technical University, electrical circuit analysis is a compact course which exhaustively yet quickly covers all the DC and AC circuit concepts. During the course, it is observed that some students have difficulties in some basic capabilities such as calculation of equivalent resistance of either a standard or a compact circuit, dividing currents, and so on. More sadly, this inability spreads to the rest of the semester. This study aims to overcome this issue through a smart interactive education platform and gamification. The first part, that is, EDUPERES visualizes and animates the solutions of electrical circuits. To make the students exercise circuit questions, it provides an interface which simulates the comfort of using paper and pencil. This platform is powered by a smart algorithm to watch almost all of the actions of the students and to give prompt warnings. It allows students to transform the shapes of compact circuits during circuit reduction. The second part, that is, GAMERES imaginatively converts the circuit questions into action, competition, shooter, puzzle, and maze games. Via box plots and Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon nonparametric tests, it is shown that EDUPERES and GAMERES can significantly increase students' learning. The success of EDUPERES and GAMERES is discussed with regard to previous studies and gamers' motivations.

Learning beyond books: A hybrid model to learn real‐world problems

There are several initiatives underway to improve the learning of software developers. These attempts include the integration of GitHub into software engineering classes, the creation of learning management systems, gamification approaches, and collaborative learning platforms. These initiatives have demonstrated promise in boosting students' collaborative growth and cooperation abilities, emphasizing their potential influence on improving learning experiences in practical areas. Books, on the other hand, remain basic in education, but their physical size limits their ability to explore all practical elements of a topic in depth. This limitation requires more research and application of theoretical information in real‐world circumstances. In this work, we address the issue of limited space in traditional books that frequently prevents complete presentation of practical elements of a topic. To address this issue, we propose an application that improves the reading experience and accelerates the learning process. To anticipate themes, we use a combination of latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithms and a generative pre‐trained transformer. First, utilizing LDA to find potential topic keywords inside the text and then leveraging generative pretrained transformer to predict topic names based on the LDA produced keywords. In addition, a query builder module produces and executes queries depending on the current page's topic, obtaining real‐world issues from Stack Overflow. The system classifies results by query‐title similarity, question‐answer ranking, and content quality before displaying them to users. This bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. We illustrate the usefulness of suggested tool using simulations, comparison with existing tools and user studies. The majority of users provide favorable comments and find it interesting and helpful for improving the learning process.
