Abstract

"This paper presents the fusion of game-inspired approaches and their application in educational environment, exploring the potential to enhance student engagement and feedback mechanisms. Drawing from role-playing games and video game dynamics, this study explores a method for development of real-time academic dashboards with game interfaces. Through game analysis approach the authors underscore the transformative potential of such integration in the academic environment. Survey findings highlight the advantages of immediate feedback and data visualization. The research establishes a connection between gaming and pedagogy which is imperative for the change of educational methodologies. The authors of this paper developed innovative method "AcademicDash: Character Sheet” interface tool for Universities. This dashboard establishes a novel integration of game-inspired dynamics into the academic landscape."
