My name is Ping-cheng Yeh

You can also call me Benson

I'm a double E professor from National Taiwan University

also known as NTU

I'm also the director of NTU Mooc

Today, I'm very excited

because I want to introduce to you a very cool system

that we just finished building and launched last week

It's called PaGamo

PaGamo is the world's first ever multi-student social game platform

ever built for Mooc courses

So, as you can see here

you can see the PaGamo link at the left column here

Just click on it

and the system will bring us to the PaGamo platform

The purpose of this game is for each user to occupy

as many lands as possible

So, take my land for example

If I want to occupy this empty land

I just click on it

and then click on the "Occupy"

And, you will see that the system will then automatically send

a probability problem for me to solve

If I solve it correctly

then I get to occupy that land, OK

Let me quit here

In addition to occupy the empty land

there's another design that

each new player can occupy your neighboring player's land

Let's take this area for example

As you can see

the yellow player kept attacking on the orange player

and now the orange player only has two pieces of lands left

But don't worry about this orange player being frustrated

once he or she got exterminated

Because for all exterminated players

we'll let them reborn on some other areas

along with other players who have been exterminated before

So, they will play much more happily there

along with other people in much more peaceful areas, OK

In addition to the offense

we also have game designed for the defense part

Let's say if you don't want your neighboring players

to attack on your land

What you can do

You can do something, OK

As you can see, once you get a big territory

your land will start to generate a fortune

the money for you

OK. You can have lots of money here

OK. What you can do with that money

You can go to the store

and you can buy some monsters

we have 3 levels, 3 different levels of monsters here

Let's say if I buy this level 2 monster

Once I buy the monster, what can I do

I can deploy the monster

at the boundary of my territory, OK

Oh, so how does this help you in defense

Well, you see, if somebody wants to attack this land

the system will assign a problem for him to solve

from the land

In addition to that

the monster will also

you can see that we've already had one monster here

This monster will generate another problem

for your neighboring player to solve

So, your neighboring player has to finish solving two problems correctly

before he or she can occupy this land

and let's say if you deploy two monsters here. You can see here

Then, your neighboring player has to finish solving 3 problems

one from the land, and two from these level 3 monsters

and the level of the monsters represent the difficulty level of the problems

If you buy a much more expensive level 3 monster

the level 3 monster will generate a much harder problem for your neighboring player to solve

compared to a level one monster, OK

So, you can use your money to buy more monsters

to deploy on the boundary of your territory

to avoid your neighboring players to attack you, OK

This is another interesting feature of our game

And next, let me introduce to you the personal information area

If you click on here, you can see the personal information area

and here you get to see your information, your Coursera ID

your money and the number of your territory

and the number of problem sets that you successfully solved

and the most important thing is here, the ranking part

We'll have 2 different rankings

one is the ranking about the number of the questions solved by this user

And you can see that this is your current ranking

and these are the top 10 players of the game

So, finally I would like to introduce our arena feature

If you are a student who really likes to battle with other students

you can go to the arena

and you can compete with several students together

The system will assign multiple problems for you guys to solve

and the person who gets to solve these problems in the shortest time

you are the winner among all players in the arena

and you get an extra award for winning the battle

So, that is our PaGamo system

It's really a lot of fun on this system

and that's why our students get addicted to solving problems

As you can see, this PaGamo system is designed for general courses

So, any courses with enough numbers of problem sets and correct answers

you just input them to the system

and you get to transform your course into a game right away

So, it's very efficient and very easy

for you to make your course into a game

And here I would especially like to thank

there are twelve double E and Computer Science students from National Taiwan University

who closely worked with me to build this system

They're just like me

We have a very strong desire to change the way that people learn in the world

and that's why those 12 students and me

we spent so much time, so much effort into building this platform

and I really want to thank them

Chiang Sheng-wen, Shen Da-jun, Chen Yen-ling, Chen Yen-jun, Xu Zhi-han, Zhu Bo-chen, Zhang Yao-ren, Yu Lang-qi, Xia Zhi-yang

Tang Wei-xuan, Li Jia-lin, Lin Guan-yu, and my very good friend Tsai Yi-cheng

who helped me guiding those students

And we believe PaGamo is going to introduce a new paradigm for online learning
