GAMIFY: desenvolvimento de uma plataforma gamificada para acompanhamento de atividades no Google Classroom

Abstract

This technical report presents the development of a gamified web platform integrated with Google Classroom for monitoring assignments, grades, and academic performance indicators. The solution was designed to complement the management resources provided by Google Classroom by transforming academic data into visual monitoring elements, including experience points, levels, progress bars, rankings, and performance dashboards. The development process comprised the definition of gamification requirements, system modeling, implementation of a client–server architecture, integration with Google services, data persistence, and deployment in a web environment. The backend was developed with Python, Django, and Django REST Framework, while the interface was built with Django templates, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap. Authentication was implemented through Google accounts and OAuth 2.0, and courses, assignments, submissions, and grades were synchronized through the Google Classroom API. The processed data are stored in PostgreSQL and used to generate gamified indicators. The functionalities were technically verified through Django automated tests using simulated data and responses to avoid direct dependence on the external API during test execution. The documented test scenarios confirmed the integrity of data persistence and relationships, the correct resolution of routes, the protection of access to system functionalities, the accuracy of the gamification calculations, and the proper structure of the REST API responses. The resulting functional prototype can integrate academic information from Google Classroom and present it through a gamified interface
