In our currently running project MILKI-PSY, we focus on multimodal immersive mentoring to facilitate Self Regulated Learning (SRL).To support mentors with the tools they need to provide adaptive and personalized tutoring, a set of learning services was developed and is currently under development. These services utilize our flagship peer-to-peer community platform las2peer.

Recent advancements indicate that Learning Management Systems are becoming increasingly important in an increasingly digital instructional environment. However, students can encounter a variety of difficulties in their education, like high burden of stress or other social, organizational, and societal barriers. Long-term student motivation has a major influence on academic resilience, that is the learners’ capacity to succeed academically despite adversities. Building an extrinsic motivation mechanism via a gamification system can be used to inspire student motivation and persistence.

In previous work, we expanded the Gamification Framework to include gamified habit forming mechanisms for supporting the motivation of students to participate in the learning experience and continuously work on the course goals.
