Abstract :	[en] Student response systems as an active learning strategy have shown to be useful in different study domains. With the advent of gamification, these environments have become very popular to improve student engagement. However, existing solutions only provide a static set of activity types and limit their use to classrooms. In this paper, we present Yactul, an extensible game-based student response framework for active learning. Our ecosystem fosters continuous learning both in the collaborative setting of the classroom and the private study environment of the student. Our modular architecture enables a seamless integration of activities from a broad and extensible set. In addition, a mobile app for offline learning extends the experience outside the classroom and allows to replay quizzes anywhere and anytime, track the progress of an individual learner and suggest activities on topics that require more studying.
