Whole-person education is what many educational institutions aim for, especially in these times of rapid technological innovations. Silliman University, one of the oldest universities in the Philippines, offers whole-person education to achieve total human development. This study is an innovative technology integration in the classroom of the course “whole-person education”. Specifically, this paper describes the development of a mobile game application that integrates augmented reality. Applying the gamification theory, a learning trail about the 5Cs of Silliman Education - Classroom, Church, Culture, Court, and the Community, was integrated. The learning trail consists of three learning paths, and each path consists of ten checkpoints. Three qualifying questions were embedded to determine the player’s learning path. Each checkpoint is augmented using QR codes. Players need to complete the game in the shortest possible time. The educational game mobile application was developed using Appery.io, a rapid development, integration, and deployment platform. The mobile application runs on the Android operating system as part of the first release. A survey was conducted among 244 players of the game application. A 4-point scale questionnaire is integrated into the game app, asking the players about their level of agreement with the statements representing their game evaluation. The result shows that the game application was evaluated positively by the respondents, with a mean of 3.69. Expressly, the players agreed ( = 3.69) that they learned a lot about the AR trail. The students also agreed ( = 3.35) to the statement, “I would like my teachers to integrate apps like this in my classes.” The result implies that augmented reality and gamification as teaching strategies in the classroom are perceived positively and accepted by the students. The educational game promotes the understanding of whole-person education especially in a developing country where digital divide is a pressing issue.

“…Creating a good User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) is very important, especially given that more and more products and services are now sold over the internet [12]. The focus on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (IxD) -fields acknowledging that understanding users is crucial to successful design for all interactive products" -is also not new to academia [11]. Indeed, from a user experience standpoint, a lot of care needs to be taken when designing web apps 1 as opposed to web sites (the former typically offering a wide range of interactive features and dynamic information and the latter offering mostly static content).…”

Understanding and continually improving the user experience is critical to the success of web applications, especially those that are business-driven. There exist a multitude of tools to monitor user activities on a website, which then provide metrics to help developers and company leadership understand where their users experience pain-points. However, all tools suffer from their own limitations and ultimately it is important for companies to have as much control (as possible) over all data collected by third-party tools, and be able to make decisions related to its storage, retention, processing, etc., in an agile manner. At Dottid, we use a third-party tool to understand and enhance the user experience on our web application, recently however, we ran into a problem regarding failed logins that required us to architect a solution ourselves, since the tool cannot address this issue for us. The solution leverages log collection and big data analytics and its architecture has paved the way for us to build more actionable insights than if we were using the tool as-is. We transparently share our experiences, and the details of our solution and rationale, with the goal of benefiting others, and promoting further industry-academic collaboration, in this space.
