QUADRIVIA: A quiz-based serious game app to train university degrees knowledge

Abstract

QUADRIVIA is a mobile app oriented to give university students a tool to learn while playing. It is a quiz serious game, where questions are defined by teachers/experts following a methodology defined by experts in learning, serious games and gamification. Questions are generated from academical resources and lectures used in real university official courses. In its current version, the game counts with more than 30; 000 questions from 16 different degrees (e.g. Computing, Laws, Management, Psicology, Anthropology, etc.) It has been developed over a set of social-based features which allow players to interact with the rest of the community (e.g. challenges, leaderboards, etc.) The app is free and available for iOS and Android systems, and allows users to play alone or compete in specific subjects, degrees or with the complete set of questions. This work presents the tool, the content generation methodology, the current analytics on the tool and, finally, shows a few ideas on how this is going to be evolved and used in the academical scope
