1.1. A AIS3702 lecturer notices that many students are struggling to understand basic
classification skills and losing interest during sessions. To address this problem, she introduces
an educational game where students earn marks by correctly solving classification challenges.
Students work in small groups, competing and collaborating as they play, which increases
engagement and participation. As the game progresses, the lecturer observes that students
become more confident and begin to explain classification process and principles to each other.
