Abstract

"Community Development (Comdev) program is one of the key activities that needs to be undertaken by all higher education institutions. Comdev is designated to maximize knowledge transfer from academicians to communities and industries. Comdev endeavors typically involve a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including lecturers, students, local communities, corporate entities, and government bodies. Each stakeholder has a different interest, and in many cases, collaboration does not work well. Collaboration, at times, encounters roadblocks due to differing interests and levels of commitment. Some lecturers and students may not take the Comdev project seriously and only viewed it as a mere obligation, which can negatively impact results. This research discusses an innovative solution to address this challenge: Creating a Community Development (Comdev) system infused with gamification using the MDA framework. By incorporating gamification, community development programs can be more exciting and engaging, motivating individuals to actively participate. Additionally, it offers a real-time, data-driven system for monitoring program progress, helping program coordinators identify areas that require attention or improvement, ultimately contributing to more efficient and effective community development initiatives."
