involves understanding the challenges and motivations of users, and applying Gamification patterns and game mechanics in the context of the objectives for the initiatives. The process of Gamification can be complex and we have proposed a method to guide the
designers and developers to implement sustainable Gamification initiatives. The workshop plans to involve and walk the participants through the method to design a gamified environment for a topic decided by the participants.

tutorial presents a complete solution to this problem by covering the topic from a basic introduction of the SOA concepts with web services to a full-scale hands-on deployment of a classroom project along with guidelines for a course package using C#.ASPNET.
Opportunities will also be given to participants to share experiences and best practices in teaching this course.
