DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM MÓDULO DE GAMIFICAÇÃO PERSONALIZADO PARA O MOODLE

Abstract

This work addresses the development of a personalized gamification module in the Moodle Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), aimed at students. After the evaluation of academic activities, personalized badges are generated based on students' individual preferences, collected through an online form provided at the beginning of the course. These badges, created using the Huggingface Hub API, are automatically sent via email to students as a form of recognition. The module's initial interface, accessible only to teachers, was designed with Bootstrap and displays activities that still need to be graded, facilitating the monitoring and management of evaluations. This system aims to enhance student interaction with the virtual environment, encouraging greater engagement through personalization and achievement recognition. Although the simplicity of the badges generated by the free API and possible delays in image creation may be limitations, the module represents an efficient solution to increase student involvement in the Moodle VLE. This work may interest developers and educators looking for new ways to use technologies like Moodle and image generation APIs to improve engagement in the educational environment.
