Defense of Doctoral Thesis by Emiliano Ruiz
In January, specifically on the 10th, GRETEL member Emiliano Justo Labrador Ruiz de la Hermosa defended his Doctoral Thesis.
The dissertation, entitled "Sistemas gamificados mejorados a través de técnicas de experiencia de usuario", that aimed to discover the optimal process of designing a methodology for creating gamified systems, uses the Multiple Case Study as a research methodology. .
During the dissertation, the Fun Experience Design (FED) methodology was developed for user-centered gamification design where the Multiple Case Study methodology was present in both the development and validation of this new methodology. .
The results of both cases have shown that UX techniques improve performance in gamified systems and a methodology based on UX techniques has been developed. These findings open new lines of experimentation that can lead to major breakthroughs in the field.
