“…There are also studies that move away from pre-existing tools such as Papyrus and develop their work: such is the case of BPMS-Game (Mancebo et al [46]), a tool that introduces badges, leaderboards and achievements as mechanisms to increase attention to rules for defining business process models. BPMS-Game focuses mainly on the sustainability aspect of business models, a side that authors view as often neglected and should be the main focus of everyone who wants to define BPMs.…”

“…It can be said, after analyzing a few examples of pre-existing tools that aim to teach BPMN or other modeling languages with either gamification or game-like approaches, that there seem to be no examples of a gamified tool for teaching BPMN. The one example that comes the closest to this is BPMS-Game [46], which, however, focuses more on teaching how to improve modeling practice with the goal of improving sustainability of models. To the best of our knowledge, no gamified tool in the state of the art is focused on teaching modeling for beginners and students.…”

Business Process Modeling is a skill that is becoming sought after for computer engineers, with Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) being one example of the tools used in modeling activities. Students of the Master of Computer Engineering course at Politecnico di Torino learn about BPMN in dedicated courses but often underperform on BPMN-related exercises due to difficulties understanding how to model processes. In recent years, there has been a surge of studies that employ gamification (using game elements in non-recreative contexts to obtain benefits) as a tool in Computer Engineering education to increase students’ engagement with the learning process. This study aims to use the principles of gamification to design a supplementary learning tool for the teaching of information systems technology. In particular, to improve student understanding and use of BPMN diagrams. This study also analyzes the usability and motivation of the participants in using different game elements in increasing student motivation and performance. As part of the study, a prototype web application was developed, which implemented three different designs, each incorporating different game elements relating to either progress, competition, or rewards. An evaluation was then conducted on the prototype to evaluate the performance of the practitioners in performing BPMN modeling tasks with the gamified tool, the usability of the proposed mechanics and the enjoyment of the individual game mechanics that were implemented. With the usage of the gamified tool, the users of the experimental sample were able to complete BPMN modeling tasks with performances compatible with estimates made through expert judgement (i.e., gamification had no negative effect on performance), and were motivated to check the correctness of their models many times during the task execution. The system was evaluated as highly usable (85.8 System Usability Score); the most enjoyed game elements were rewards, levels, progress bars and aesthetics.
