Prototype of Mobile Learning Application (MoLearn) by Utilizing the Gamification Concept

Abstract

Mobile Learning (MoLearn) is a learning application created specifically to accommodate the learning needs of students with the goal of gaining more learning experiences with more effective mobile devices. Answering this challenge, MoLearn application that has been built previously with web-based and Android needs to be developed. In accordance with the lifestyle of its users, in this case high school students, the MoLearn application was developed using the concept of Gamification. In learning, gamification is an approach in the learning process that uses elements in the game with the aim to provide motivation, build comfort for learners, and interest in the learning process. By utilizing the concept of Gamification, a prototype of MoLearn application development was designed by giving attention to the three elements, i.e character, interactivity and feedback. The development of this application takes into account every student activity that focuses on goals, reward mechanisms, and progress tracking. Gamification, a key review of MoLearn's application development as a concept in the process of creating participative learning experiences and active learning.
