TESTQUEST: A Web Gamification Tool to Improve Locators and Page Objects Quality
Web applications play a crucial role in our daily lives, making it essential to employ testing methods that ensure their quality. Typically, Web testing automation frameworks rely on locators to interact with the graphical user interface, acting as connection points to the elements on a Web page. Nevertheless, locators are widely recognized as a major vulnerability in Web testing, as they are highly sensitive to the frequent changes in Web page structures caused by rapid software evolution. The…

I wished I could disagree with this post but sadly I cannot. I had high hopes for Matrix and still use it but boy is it not fixing the core and conceptual issues.

I'm never going back to Matrix
I should love Matrix. It is a decentralised, privacy preserving, multi-platform chat tool. Goodbye Slack and your ridiculous free limits. Adiós Discord and your weird gamification. Suck it IRC with your obscure syntax and faint stench of BO. WhatsApp and Telegram can stick their heads in a bucket of lukewarm sick and sing sea shanties! Let's join the future! The problem is - Matrix is shit. Not …

Gamification of Immersive Cervical Rehabilitation Exercises in VR: An Exploratory Study on Chin Tuck and Range of Motion Exercises
Chronic neck pain is a prevalent condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, causing significant individual suffering and socioeconomic burdens. Although exercise rehabilitation is a staple in relieving pain and improving muscle function for the condition, traditional one-on-one rehabilitation sessions are costly and suffer from poor adherence and accessibility for the patients. Thanks to the increasing accessibility and recent advancements in sensing and display technology, virtu…

How online misinformation works: a costly signalling perspective
This chapter explores how online communication, particularly on social media, reshapes the reputational incentives that motivate speakers to communicate truthfully. Drawing on costly signalling theory (CST), it examines how online contexts alter the social mechanisms that sustain honest communication. Key characteristics of online spaces are identified and discussed, namely (i) the presence of novel speech acts like reposting, (ii) the gamification of communication, (iii) information overload, …

Findings of MEGA: Maths Explanation with LLMs using the Socratic Method for Active Learning
This paper presents an intervention study on the effects of the combined methods of (1) the Socratic method, (2) Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning, (3) simplified gamification and (4) formative feedback on university students' Maths learning driven by large language models (LLMs). We call our approach Mathematics Explanations through Games by AI LLMs (MEGA). Some students struggle with Maths and as a result avoid Math-related discipline or subjects despite the importance of Maths across many fie…

SRLAgent: Enhancing Self-Regulated Learning Skills through Gamification and LLM Assistance
Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for college students navigating increased academic demands and independence. Insufficient SRL skills can lead to disorganized study habits, low motivation, and poor time management, undermining learners ability to thrive in challenging environments. Through a formative study involving 59 college students, we identified key challenges students face in developing SRL skills, including difficulties with goal-setting, time management, and reflective learning…

A Reference Architecture for Gamified Cultural Heritage Applications Leveraging Generative AI and Augmented Reality
The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies is transforming Cultural Heritage access, experience, and preservation. However, many digital heritage applications lack interactivity, personalization, and adaptability, limiting user engagement and educational impact. This short paper presents a reference architecture for gamified cultural heritage applications leveraging generative AI and augmented reality. Gamification enhances motivation, artificial intelligence enables ad…
