For this purpose the application provides a set of game elements and game mechanics which can be configured to be suitable for a specific content. Thus an interactive learning environment will be created which engages the user’s intrinsic motivation. + +The project was founded in 2013, supported by the promotion fund of the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf (Germany), under the name “Die Legende von Zyren” (eng: “The Legend of Zyren”). The goal was to impart the learning content of the course “Wissensrepräsentation” (eng: “Knowledge Representation”) with game elements and game models to the students of Information Science. This innovative learning environment consisted of a virtual text-based adventure which was accessible via a web-based platform and non-virtual games in class in which the students dived into the adventure and competed in teams against each other. + +To generalise the concept and to make it available to other faculties and courses, the project Questlab (working title: The Legendof Z) was started in 2014. Teachers are able to use the application to create their own tasks (Quests) and to embed these into a story designed by them. Furthermore, a Responsive Design has been added and provides best access from all mobile devices. + +## Team + +* Kathrin Knautz (project management) +* Oliver Hanraths (implementation) +* Daniel Miskovic (user interface) + +## Installation + +Installation Guide + +## Database + +Database Handling \ No newline at end of file
