Wooclap for improving student achievement and motivation in the Chemical Engineering Degree

To improve the achievement and motivation of the students of the subject Mechanical Design of Equipment in the Chemical Engineering Degree, a teaching innovation project is carried out based on gamification and immediate feedback, specifically through the use of the Wooclap software. After the project design and implementation, it was evaluated using two main instruments: the institutional questionnaires of the own university and a specific questionnaire designed by the teaching team. The results suggested that the use of Wooclap in the classroom had a positive impact on students, allowing, on the one hand, to increase students’ motivation and, on the other hand, to improve their academic achievement. Likewise, the constructive comments from the students promoted the teaching team the opportunity to develop and deepen future changes and updates.
