Abstract - Use of game elements in course design is one example of gamification. The course of Computer Games was selected as a basis for gamification because game-like approach can support the understanding of the course content. A case study was conducted to find out how students perceive game-like course. The course of Computer Games was organised like a game. At the end of the course, feedback was collected. Although most of the game elements were well accepted by the students, it did not lead to deep immersion.
