“…In gamified environments, especially in narrative or role-playing games, guidance and support can be manifested through graphical elements (e.g., an arrow or a flashing text message) that indicate which way to go or which option to select next; in an application context, such interface elements might point to specific tools to use next, points remaining to claim a level or badge or notifications that users may have missed. This information scheme becomes more helpful when using avatars or virtual actors as sidekicks (Dixit et al, 2018): besides being aesthetically pleasing, avatars help in creating rapport with the users and offer a sense of someone being there to assist them, while users still maintain control about what to do next and which tools or options to select.…”

The design process of any interactive application is an important part of its lifecycle, since it largely defines its structure, means of interaction with the users and its actual content. In the case of applications related to medical uses and self-help, it is even more important, given the aims of the application, the diversity of target users and the urgent need for increased retention. In this article, we present a gameful design process for a mobile application targeted toward patients in rehabilitation, implementing concepts related to increasing user rapport and motivation through gamification, and means to offer guidance and personalized services to improve user experience. Both gamification and personalization build on narrative concepts, by putting patients in the place of a “hero”, offering them the opportunity to overcome “challenges” and receive a clear view of their progress (a.k.a. a “hero's journey”), both in terms of physical and mental condition. Finally, we discuss measurable indicators used to evaluate the application in terms of the progress that patients showed, their motivation and interest, and degree of adherence to the exercise plans.

“…Diverse approaches have been developed in the literature to improve cryptography teaching and learning in higher education, particularly in terms of advancing students' understanding of cryptographic algorithms. A wellknown approach involves the use of visualization tools, which relies on the conversion of mathematical notation and expressions into attractive and understandable diagrams (Dixit et al, 2018;Epishkina et al, 2016;Hu et al, 2018;Liu & Cheng, 2017;Liu, 2018;Parakh et al, 2017;Rahaman et al, 2018;Rao & Dave, 2019;Rass & Winkler, 2017;Salib & Hobar, 2018;Xu et al, 2016;Zhu et al, 2019).…”

In higher education, teaching cybersecurity concepts to students such as encryption-based security protocols is a challenging task, but it is fundamental for personal and national security. One of the reasons for this is related to the inadequate mathematical knowledge of students, which limits their understanding of the cryptographic algorithms underlying the protocols. Therefore, higher education institutions are seeking out engaging and effective strategies for developing students’ skills in this area. The aim of this research is to explore the use and potential effectiveness of game-based learning to assist in the teaching and learning of cybersecurity concepts in higher education. It contributes to the literature by raising public interest in cybersecurity and helping learners to understand suitable and safe behaviors online. It also offers a systematic overview of game-based learning tools that have been used in previous studies to improve students’ understanding of cryptographic algorithms. This research also presents a framework for the effective teaching of cryptography in higher education, relying on animation and gamification.
