Online learning can combine digital materials, practical activities and feedback mechanisms to support student engagement. This case study examines a gamified online learning environment. The publication describes its context and approach; its results should not be generalized to every course or student.
Publisher source: Article in Information ↗A digital product passport depends on information about materials, processes and a product’s journey. Life-cycle assessment provides a structured way to examine environmental impacts across those stages. The chapter proposes a modular architecture to connect the two concepts in the textile industry; read the proposal with the scope and assumptions set out by its authors.
Publisher source: Springer chapter on LCA and DPP ↗Gamification can organize goals, rules and feedback around a non-game activity. This chapter presents a framework-based approach to exploring how gamification may promote family farming. The paper is the source for the model and application context; this summary does not imply proven impact beyond that scope.
