Research has shown that games have the potential to improve motivation, encouraging players to fulfill their quests. The process of adopting game elements in non-gaming contexts is known as gamification and has been successfully used in a variety of settings. Leveraging on this, we gamified an engineering course, including classical game elements such as leaderboard, experience points and levels. Results were very encouraging, showing increased involvement, participation, fun, motivation and satisfaction.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
