W artykule przedstawiono autorski system motywacyjny zastosowany na przedmiocie Metrologia prowadzonym na II semestrze studiów I stopnia. System oparty jest na opracowanej własnej aplikacji internetowej pokazującej aktualną pozycję studenta na liście rankingowej. Opisano składniki i kryteria zdobywania punktów na zajęciach laboratoryjnych i na wykładzie. Zaprezentowano efekty działania systemu oraz podkreślono konieczność dalszego modyfikowania wprowadzonych działań oraz ulepszania samej aplikacji.In this paper the original system for motivating of students at metrology course is presented. This course is the part of teaching program of electrical engineering studies at 1st level on 2nd semester. The system is based on the web application that has been elaborated by the second author of this paper.
