Demo game rendering Blackboard course elements as 3D school environments¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

A standalone Universal Windows Platform demo game serving as the practical use case for the integration package. After logging in through the Blackboard page, students see portals for each course leading to a classroom scene with a board displaying announcements, assignments, and grades, and cabinets for weekly material folders. The paper describes that "There is a row of tall cabinets under the big board, each representing a weekly materials folder" and that clicking a material downloads it automatically.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

The Unity integration package and authorized access to the student's Blackboard courses

Constraints¶

Built for UWP, which the authors call a legacy framework; WebGL is identified as most suitable for full bidirectional hypergamification

Target Learners¶

higher education students

Learning Goals¶

accessing course announcements, assignments, grades, and materials within a game environment

Claims¶

Hypergamification: bidirectional LMS-game integration where the whole game environment is generated from LMS content

Examples¶

Reusable Unity package for Blackboard Learn API integration: the reusable Unity package that handles Blackboard authentication and Learn API calls
