EduVerse: a cross-disciplinary gamified learning platform for 21st-century education

EduVerse is a mobile-accessible educational tool developed to enhance student engagement and understanding across multiple university-level courses offered at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Designed using a no-code platform, the app provides structured subtopic-based notes and a range of interactive learning games that support both classroom use and self-directed study. This innovation addresses common challenges in higher education, including low motivation, difficulty understanding abstract content, and limited access to engaging digital resources. EduVerse focuses on four selected subtopics: Time Series Data Analysis from STA104 (Introduction to Statistics), Early Theories of Motivation from MGT321 (Organizational Behaviour), Types of Innovation from MGT315 (Creative and Critical Thinking), and Arabic Fruit Vocabulary and Interrogative Words from TAC151 (Foundation Arabic Level II). These subtopics are gamified using platforms such as Wordwall, Genially, Educaplay, and Blooket to enhance student recall, visualization, and interaction through quizzes, puzzles, and matching tasks. The platform is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and laptops, and can be accessed via a single shareable link without the need for installation. EduVerse was developed using the Glide App, a no-code development platform that enabled rapid prototyping and the integration of interactive learning modules across various subjects. By promoting digital literacy, learner autonomy, and meaningful engagement, EduVerse contributes to the advancement of 21st-century education through inclusive and gamified learning experiences.
