I contacted them to outline what I wanted. So I wrote an algorithm and found some potential providers on. While playing around with Google Forms, an idea came to me – surely Google Apps script could be used in a self-marking quiz to send a badge to a supplied email address if a certain score was achieved in the quiz? However, within the learning environment I have been working with, the concept would be very labour intensive to implement and track.

What are “badges” & “gamification “?īadges in education and the idea of gamification is one way teachers can help motivate students in the classroom and help students keep track of effort and achievement. The good news is Google Forms is a relatively simple (and free!) tool to help implement gamification elements into education.

Gamification and badges in education have been ideas floating around for a few years now.
