The winning project of the II Arqus Teaching Excellence Awards in the category of enabling students was the course 'Fundamentals of Physical Education' developed by Isaac José Pérez López, Professor at the Physical Education and Sports Department at the University of Granada.
The innovative nature of the project was found in the three pillars: fiction, social networks, and games (board or video games). For this, a gamification project was designed, taking advantage of the principles and motivational elements of games, and relying on social networks to increase students’ engagement.
Students were at the centre of the proposal, providing them with decision-making capacity, autonomy, and the possibility to adapt the experience to their learning rhythms and needs. To build the project’s narrative, a film reference to the popular TV show called 'Money Heist' was taken. This led to the release of 'La cárcel de papel (Paper Jail)', the educational sequel to the most successful Spanish series worldwide.
