Using Web Analytics Tools to Improve the Quality of Educational Resources and the Learning Process of Students in a Gamified Situation

Abstract

In this paper we propose a businessification approximation to measure and analyse students' engagement in a gamified learning context. Gamification in education is used to enhance students experience and improve learning outcomes. Its technics such as points, leaderboard, badges or ranking are also used in learning instructions with the aim to improve students' engagement. This engagement can be considered as the metric to measure the success of gamified instructions. The gamification model can also be used in an online learning environment. In this virtual context teachers have to have some tools to see what happens during the learning process. Such virtual context is usually web based. In this specific context the resources used such as images, videos or audios are fundamental to engage students. In order to help teachers to enhance engagement we propose the use of web analytical tools in such web based gamified learning contexts to track, analyse and finally enhance such resources.

New Lighting Representation Methodologies for Enhanced Learning in Architecture Degree

“…The improvement of their skills will be compared with that of another group of students who use traditional methodologies. As previous studies in urban projects for education [9][10][11], the analysis of the data obtained in the pre-test, post-test surveys and bipolar laddering tests will allow us to evaluate the improvement through the learning analytics techniques [12][13][14][15]. This research evaluates subjective aspects of the perception of comfort and light safety of an exterior or interior architectural environment.…”
