Creating Characters In A Game Based Learning System, Jaehyun Park, Siegwart Mayr

Campus Research Month

Gamification is the idea of adding video game elements into a non-gaming context, such as for educational or business purposes. Game-based learning takes that idea one step further by not only adding elements of video games, but turning the whole process into a game-like structure.

The Center for Innovation and Research in Computing (CIRC) is currently developing a game-based learning system that can be used in place of a traditional classroom setting. The focus of this research work is on the relationship between users and characters within a course in the Character Module. The Character Module encompasses everything to do …

Generating University Course Catalogs Via A Php Based Module, Chileleko Chileya, Siegwart Mayr

Campus Research Month

Catalogs are a requirement at any university. The current academic system at Southern Adventist University entails creating catalogs for the school by hand. The current model is very outdated and time consuming especially considering the database of all related school records available. The solution is a module using the PHP based framework called Yii to construct a module that will be integrated into the Southern Adventist University website that will automatically generate formatted catalogs through the frontend of the website. The previous module uses Kuali to store academic data as well as provide an API for third-party applications but was …

Game-Based Learning Activities And Assignments, Samuel Rivera, Siegwart Mayr

Campus Research Month

The Center for Innovation and Research in Computing (CIRC) is creating a web application that uses game-based learning to help students be engaged and collaborate, as an adventure-based quest.

In this research project, the activity module was created for this web application. This module contains assignment creation, completion, and grading. These assignments can be included in the quests and courses. The seamless connection between the activity module and the course module was possible with the Yii framework.

An Interactive Dashboard For Southern Adventist University Weather Data, Emily Hamstra, Miguel Rivas, Ac Hybl, Harvey Alferez

Campus Research Month

A Davis Wireless Vantage Pro 2 weather station has been collecting data on Southern Adventist University’s campus since December 2019. Some of the data are uploaded and reported by Weather Underground. The remaining data are not easily accessible. This project aims to make that data available to the general public through an interactive dashboard. Weather data specific to campus may help further scientific research that requires accurate weather records.
