Although rooted in ex periences from control theory education\, the approaches presented are bro adly applicable across disciplines.The first part demonstrates how Kahoot! can serve as the central element of an entire lecture designed to revisit and consolidate previously covered material in an interactive and enjoyab le way. Particular attention is given to the benefits and limitations of c ompetitive formats\, together with practical strategies for fostering an i nclusive and positive classroom atmosphere.In the second part\, participan ts will experience a short\, adapted version of the logical deduction game Zendo\, illustrating how an existing game can be transformed into a learn ing activity that promotes conceptual understanding\, reasoning skills\, a nd active participation.Finally\, the seminar presents ways to gamify rout ine course components\, such as mandatory assignments\, through badges and other tangible reward systems that increase motivation and create a stron ger sense of achievement.Through concrete examples and ready-to-apply idea s\, the seminar provides participants with practical tools that can be rea dily incorporated into their own teaching practice.Bio: Prof. Damiano Roto ndo was born in Francavilla Fontana\, Italy\, in 1987. He received his B.S . degree (with honors) from the Second University of Naples\, Italy\, in 2 008\, his M.S. degree (with honors) from the University of Pisa\, Italy\, in 2011\, and his Ph.D. degree (with honors) from the Universitat Politècn ica de Catalunya\, Spain\, in 2016. His doctoral thesis received the CEA-S pringer Award for the best thesis in Control Engineering and was subsequen tly published by Springer.From May 2016 to April 2017\, he was an ERCIM po stdoctoral researcher at AMOS/NTNU in Norway. He then joined the Research Centre for Supervision\, Safety and Automatic Control (CS2AC) at the Unive rsitat Politècnica de Catalunya as a postdoctoral researcher from May 2017 to January 2018. From February 2018 to January 2020\, he held a Juan de l a Cierva fellowship at the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial ( IRI)\, part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Since Februar y 2020\, he has been affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineer ing and Computer Science (IDE) at the University of Stavanger (UiS)\, Norw ay\, where he became Full Professor in Cybernetics in 2024. In 2025\, he w as recognized as Best Lecturer by the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Stavanger.His main research interests include gain-sche duled control systems\, fault detection and isolation (FDI)\, fault-tolera nt control (FTC) of dynamic systems\, and the gamification of control theo ry education. He has authored more than 140 publications in international journals and conference proceedings. He is also an active member of the IF AC Technical Committees 6.4 (Fault Detection\, Supervision and Safety of T echnical Processes – SAFEPROCESS) and 9.4 (Control Education).
