    A case study on online design workshop experience: gamification and space
    (Orhan HACIHASANOĞLU, 2022-10) Karadağ, Derya; Gülbahar, Simge; Ozar, Betül
    Design schools consist of three main axes; courses that provide knowledge in various fields of design, studio courses and internships. Besides, the indisputable fact is the importance of design competitions and informal workshops that feed the designer candidate to gain experience in different fields of the discipline. In addition, another importance of informal workshops is the contribution of researchers in this field to the development of design education. The effects and potentials of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are also another area of research on design education, in particular design studio courses. The use of ICTs in the field of design education has led gamification to come to the fore as an ascending concept. A series of methodologies and tools have been developed, such as gamification, as well as the different kinds of Virtual Learning Environments to ensure the motivation of students and avoid the lack of attention in online courses. In this study, an online workshop, "Gamification and Space", is investigated as a case study. The contribution of the concept of gamification to design education has been evaluated in line with the observations and experiences gained. The data was gathered from the workshop presentations held on the last day and the final manuscripts of the workshops. The collected data was analyzed by the workshop coordination team, and classifications were made regarding the aspects of the gamification used during the workshop. In addition, it is aimed to discuss the potentials of ICTs in design courses. The observations show that the use of gamified elements has the potential to enrich instructional methods, especially when we consider online education, virtual learning environments and visual collaboration tools.

    Oyunlaştırma temelli mobil eğitim uygulamalarında arayüz tasarımı
    (2020-12) Şen, Baran; Uyan Dur, Banu İnanç
    Oyunlaştırma, oyun bileşenlerinin oyun dışı alan ve içeriklere dahil edilerek kullanıcının katılımını ve motivasyonunu arttırmaya yönelik bir yaklaşımdır. İş, pazarlama, sağlık ve kişisel gelişim gibi pek çok alanda kullanılan oyunlaştırma, eğitimde öğrencileri motive etmek, öğrenmeyi daha eğlenceli ve ilgi çekici hale getirerek için kullanılmaktadır. Teknolojinin gelişmesi her alanda olduğu gibi eğitimde de geleneksel yöntemlere alternatif sistemlerin geliştirilmesine neden olmuştur. Son yıllarda akıllı telefon kullanımındaki yükselişle doğru orantılı olarak mobil uygulama kullanma sayısında da büyük bir artış görülmektedir. Mobil eğitim uygulamalarında da önemli artış olmuş; bu uygulamaların yaygınlaşmasıyla "mobil öğrenme" kavramı ortaya çıkmıştır. Mobil öğrenme, kullanıcıya mekan ve zamandan bağımsız, bilgiye ulaşma ve öğrenme olanağı sunmaktadır. Yapılan araştırmalara göre, mobil eğitime oyunlaştırma unsurları dahil edildiğinde, geleneksel eğitime ve herhangi bir mobil öğrenmeye göre daha etkili sonuçlar elde edilmektedir. Diğer yandan, bir eğitim uygulamasının başarılı olabilmesi sadece oyunlaştırmaya değil, içerik, kullanılabilirlik, işlevsellik, performans, arayüz tasarımı gibi pek çok değişkene bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, oyunlaştırma kullanılan mobil eğitim uygulamalarında arayüz tasarımının oyunlaştırma tekniklerinin verimliliğine etkisi örnekler üzerinden incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında, oyunlaştırma kullanılmış eğitim uygulamalarındaki arayüz tasarımının, kullanıcının öğrenim deneyimine ne kadar etki ettiğini ölçmek için "Quistudy" adlı uygulama tasarlanmıştır. Uygulamanın prototipi üzerinden “Sistem Kullanılabilirlik Ölçeği” ve “Kullanıcı Deneyimi Anketi” gerçekleştirilerek, arayüz tasarımının, oyunlaştırma yönteminin verimliliğine etkisinin olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır.

    Online workshop experience as an informal learning environment: gamification and space
    (İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2022-06) Karadağ, Derya; Gülbahar, Simge; Ozar, Betül
    The workshops contribute to design education by creating an informal learning area. The workshop environment is defined as an experience and interaction-oriented platform where students participate voluntarily, goes beyond formal education restrictions, and depends on the curriculum developed in line with measurement and evaluation systems. (Ciravoğlu, 2003; Yürekli & Yürekli, 2004). Due to these features, the workshops allow restrictions of disciplinary education to be dissolved through a specific problem or theme. It also helps to create an environment that supports peer learning while embodying creative mental activity. Today, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, online design education has become widespread. (Kılıç & Arabacıoğlu, 2021; Peimani & Kamalipour 2021; Alawad, 2021; Gogu & Kumar, 2021). As a result, students start using digital interfaces actively in both formal and informal studio environments to meet, to Access educational materials, and to produce projects. Digital tools and virtual reality provide a major contribution to the curriculum of design schools by creating new learning environments. (Olmos, 2006; Gül et al., 2008; Liu, 2017; Karadağ & Tüker, 2020). In addition, as a result of the widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in many fields to gain the attention of researchers of different disciplines, 'gamification' has emerged as a popular phenomenon that is used in learning processes. It has been observed that the concept of gamification, which can be defined as 'using game components and game dynamics for a specific purpose' in non-game environments, has an effect that increases student motivation and augments the learning process (Kapp, 2012; Mekler et al., 2013; Behl et al., 2022). In this study, an online workshop which was organized with the theme of "Gamification and Space", hosted by Işık University in the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, between 26-30 July 2021 is investigated as a case study. 23 workshop instructors contributed to the workshop with 11 different workshop themes. 53 students applied as participants and 49 completed the workshop. 6 workshops were scheduled weekly, and 5 workshops were scheduled as single-day. On the first day of the workshop, two seminars titled “Gamification and Space” and “Gamification for the Conservation of Historical Sites and Awareness” were held. On the last day of the workshop week, the process and the results of the workshops were shared by the instructors and participants. In the study, the contribution of the concept of gamification to design education has been evaluated in line with the observations and experiences gained. The data was gathered from the workshop presentations held on the last day and the final manuscripts of the workshops. The collected data was analyzed by the workshop coordination team, and classifications were made regarding the strategies used in the design education process by the concept of gamification. In addition, it was aimed to discuss the potentials of ICTs enabling online interaction. When the findings of the workshop were analyzed, it was revealed that there was a rich research environment for problems in various fields of design disciplines. Accordingly, the findings were analyzed under three headings as student experiences, instructor experiences and workshop experiences. In terms of the student experiences, students gained new technical knowledge and developed presentation skills through virtual environments and digital interfaces during the workshop. The important contribution of the informal workshops to the educational processes is that they bring different design disciplines together. Thus, the students had the opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of their disciplines and experience different ways of thinking and producing. In addition to weekly workshops, one-day workshops were also included in the workshop. In the one-day workshops, working areas such as performance art and computational thinking were addressed in the design processes, thereby expanding the perspectives of the participants. The fact that the workshop offered an informal experience and was based on volunteerism had a positive effect on the motivation of the students. In addition, the workshop instructors stated that they observed that the informal working environment helped students feel free and behave comfortably during the design process. Considering the experiences of the instructors, the workshop allowed instructors, who have different expertise in the design field, to organize a workshop and to work with students who want to improve their skills in the instructors’ field of expertise. On the closing day of the workshop, works produced in workshops were presented by the instructors and students to all participants. Thus, instructors living in different cities had an opportunity to come together and share their knowledge. The establishment of these sharing environments is important in terms of providing potential for future scientific studies. Regarding the workshop experiences, it is analyzed how the concept of 'gamification' is used in the structure of the workshops. The workshops are grouped under three main headings; 1. Gamification for the design process, 2. Gamification for the learning process, 3. Using the concept of gamification as a design theme. The concept of gamification is observed to be mainly associated with the design process considering the methods of the workshops. The theme of the gamification was mostly used to motivate the design process and was used to add creativity to the design process. Gamification elements are used for the learning process in order to transfer and reproduce a theoretical knowledge within the scope of workshops. One workshop used gamification as a design theme for the final product. The tools used in the workshops are varied throughout the workshop process. The workshops started on Blackboard, which is a 'virtual learning environment', but instructors added online virtual tools such as Zoom and Miro to support their workshop process. Workshops supported by computer-aided design tools and methodologies contribute to enriching the informal learning environments in the future. It has also emerged that online tools and environments constitute an important interface in terms of using the concept of gamification in the design workshops. However, virtual learning environments within the framework of technological infrastructure include some limitations when design disciplines are considered. Therefore, the study suggests that a comparative analysis between online and face-to-face environments is necessary for further studies. In addition, it is thought that the experiences gained from online workshops as an informal learning tool have the potential to contribute to fourteen-week design studios at various levels in the future.
