Abstract:

Induction is a common process for first year students in most colleges. What we present in this paper is an alternative for doing such a process using a novel approach: an online multiplayer game. We covered all the issues that are generally provided in traditional process but with a clear purpose, that students feel more motivated and engaged. Besides a full description of the induction course, we also present here a validation in a Colombian University with 563 students. The students said that the game is user friendly, and is more effective that the face-to-face induction. The obtained results demonstrated the potential of this alternative.
