Building a Gamified System for Caputring MOOC Related Data: Smart City Learning Community as its Most Precious Source of Intangible Cultural Heritage

Paper presents a theoretical proposition for gathering and saving data related to education in a smart city. Contemporary intangible cultural production of a city is its intangible cultural heritage of tomorrow. It is both worth saving and at the same time difficult to protect because of its omnipresence in the digital world of smart cities and its varied nature. Lifelong learning emerges as a forefront of education today and its most popular emanation - MOOC becomes the focal point of educational efforts, especially in digitally rich environment of a smart city. Virtual learning communities gathered around MOOCs are valuable source of data related to education and culture. Such communities can provide data on learning process itself by exchanging experiences and peer help in problem solving, but also provide crucial data depicting wider process of life long learning in a smart city such as data on courses enrolled, success rate, etc. In order to foster community building in this area paper advocate use of the gamified system that may bring together learners, teachers and other stakeholders in a more tightly nit community with even more data created and even more intangible cultural heritage saved.
