Mark A. Burns; Valerie N. Johnson; Kellie S. Grasman; Sanaz Habibi; Kaylee A. Smith; Anna I. Kaehr; Malia F. Lacar; Brian F. Yam – Advances in Engineering Education, 2023
Many engineering courses rely on in-person lectures and textbooks for content delivery, with homework sets and exams for evaluating and reinforcing student progress. Yet some research studies have shown that exams--high-pressure, time-limited assessments--are detrimental to the learning process and unnecessarily increase students' stress. We…

Victoria Bonefont; Burton Carbino; Rana Zakerzadeh – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2022
This paper identifies an opportunity to integrate gamification in undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) classrooms to alleviate student test anxiety and promote student perception of their academic performance. Gamification is a popular educational strategy that does not appear to be widely explored or adopted in higher education,…

Deborah K. Reed; Emily Martin; Eliot Hazeltine; Bob McMurray – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
To inform the development of gamified assessments, this study explored how students with or at risk for reading difficulties in Grades 6-8 (N = 202) perceived and interacted with a decoding assessment designed with gamification characteristics. Three data sources enhanced the methodological triangulation: observations and scores from testing,…

McCarthy, Kathryn S.; Watanabe, Micah; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2020
The Design Implementation Framework, or DIF, is a design approach that evaluates learner and user experience at multiple points in the development of intelligent tutoring systems. In this chapter, we explore how DIF was used to make system modifications to iSTART, a game-based intelligent tutoring system for reading comprehension. Using DIF as a…
