This research line encloses a set of research papers and Final Degree Projects of Computer Science students focused on the development of serious games for computer literacy, acquire programming skill and others. We work on gamification projects with the aim of motivating educational activities.

Moreover, another line of research is adaptive gamification, which takes as initial information players’ profiles and considers also how these profiles change over time based on users’ interactions. Then, we provide the users with a personalized experience through the use of game elements that correspond to their dynamic playing profile.
