gamification; dynamic difficulty adjustment; personalized learning; multimodal learning analytics

This paper discusses the opportunities for gamification and dynamic difficulty adjustment based on multimodal learning analytics in assignments. Altogether this covers a broader term of personalized education, which is getting more attention among the researchers in recent years. The difference of this work from other similar researches is that it suggests combining several domains to achieve better results: gamification (in order to improve student's motivation and involvements), and dynamic difficulty adjustment. All this is made possible by applying multimodal learning analytics and creating useful learning dashboards for the teachers.
