Capicoin: Sistema de Gamificação na Educação

Abstract

The integration of technology into educational contexts has been extensively investigated in the literature. When combined with gamification, this practice establishes itself as a promising approach to foster student engagement and motivation. This paper presents the design and modeling of an educational gamification system. The solution implements a digital reward mechanism wherein accumulated credits, denominated Capicoins, are converted into extra credit for assessments. Finally, this article details the development and software architecture of a cross-platform prototype utilizing Dart/Flutter and Firebase, discussing the relevance of flexible, user-centric rewards in promoting meaningful academic engagement.
