WHY GAMIFY
THE CLASSROOM?
1
Active Recall: Students retrieve knowledge under pressure, building stronger memory traces than passive review.
2
Spaced Repetition: Leaderboard competition drives repeated play, naturally spacing practice over time.
3
Instant Feedback: Right or wrong, students know immediately. No waiting weeks for graded quizzes.
