Student quest : criação de uma ferramenta de gamificação para ambiente virtual de aprendizagem baseada em narrativa

Abstract

Virtual learning environments currently occupy a prominent place in educational environments. Its use together with gamification is enhancing the engagement of its users. Based on these aspects, this work presents a proposal for the application of a gamification strategy based on a narrative structure in virtual learning environments. This research seeks to use the player archetypes defined by Richard Bartle (1996), along with the gamification elements proposed by Hunter and Werbach (2012), to establish a form of gamification that can be triggered by the narrative structure of Hero's Journey, Joseph Campbell (2005) and, finally, apply in a virtual learning environment. With the results achieved it was possible to clearly visualize the application of the narrative in the gamified environment (sic).
