Overview

To foster a data-literate community within a smart nation and digital economy, it is crucial to start developing data literacy skills among students who will shape our digital future. However, the current landscape lacks effective and engaging tools that can teach data literacy to students. Existing tools in the market often focus solely on analytical skills without integrating with the academic curriculum. Therefore, there is a need for a technology-driven solution that addresses these challenges. This solution aims to introduce fun and interactive games that not only impart data literacy but also align with existing academic rigour and curriculum. By combining entertainment through gamification with the learning of subjects like geography, social studies, and accounting, students can develop their analytical thinking skills while acquiring essential knowledge for a data-driven future. 

Our Innovation

Our solution offers a range of features to enhance the learning experience and promote engagement. It incorporates randomised levels and scenarios, ensuring dynamic and distinctive gameplay that keeps the learning process fresh and exciting. Moreover, it allows educators to customise various parameters, enabling them to add more variety to their lessons. They can create their own assignments using the Scenario Builder, design interactive lessons with text, videos, or forms using the Lesson Content Builder, and even create new assets to enrich the learning material. The technology also includes import analytics, providing educators with dashboarding tools to assess student learning and progress. Additionally, the inclusion of leaderboards and achievements fosters healthy competition among students, further motivating them to actively participate in the learning process. These features collectively contribute to an immersive and tailored learning environment that supports data literacy education integrated within the school curriculum. 

Benefits

• Enhancing interactivity and engagement of teaching. 
• Impart data literacy and analytical thinking to students. 
• Improve and reinforce learning outcomes of students. 
• Increase students' overall interest and competence in technology. 
• Imparting knowledge through gamification
• Engage community for collaborative Urban & Smart City Planning.

Applications

The gamification of data literacy education can be applied in: 

• Schools that conduct lessons on incorporating data literacy skills. It can also be used for gamified projects and assignments. 
• Tuition centres that want to adopt novel methods of teaching and learning to stimulate interest beyond the classroom. 
• Smart Nation community projects. For example, in urban planning festivals designed specifically for secondary school and pre-university students, aiming to ignite their interest in urban planning through a variety of engaging activities, workshops, and talks. This platform provides an opportunity for teachers and urban planners to explore an expanded range of facilities that significantly impact likeability, including the integration of parks and other amenities.
