Competition as an Effective Motivational Tool in Online Education

We would like to present a pilot function of the e-Iearning framework of the University of Dunaujvaros with its renewed functionality and the benefits that can be associated with it. The sharing of online educational content and online pedagogy is becoming more and more prevalent and accepted in higher education. In order to meet the expectations of students and teachers, we are trying to use the Moodle framework as a platform for communication, knowledge acquisition and assessment. Student activity, the use of functions set up with different parameters, is administered, and statements and evaluations are made. The evaluation system will be made more enjoyable for the students by using the ranking and highlighting systems familiar in gaming software. We assess the effectiveness of the student-centeredness of the designed service, its possibilities and its motivational impact on the students, by evaluating the competitive feelings that are learned in the game basics. In this study, we discuss the results obtained after the introduction of the new system and the conclusions that can be drawn from them. Of note is the change in the amount of measurable activity in the framework and the distribution of the types of content clickable. In the concluding part of the paper, we will focus on further development directions, as well as on connected services and directions for further development, and try to make suggestions. The further development described in the paper is basically a successful implementation of the competitive motivation measurement, but further fine-tuning and linked services are needed.
