Accessible Edugaming: Fostering Inclusive Learning Through Interactive Points, Leaderboards, and Confidence-Building Features

This research introduces a novel educational paradigm through the development of a MERN-based (Mon-goDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) interactive gamification platform specifically designed f or creating inclusive learning environments. The proposed system achieves a 42 % increase in learning engagement among disabled students through adaptive interfaces and accessibility features, compared to traditional educational technologies. By implementing a multi-tiered point system with customizable difficulty levels, the platform demon-strates a 37% improvement in knowledge retention and a 53% boost in continued learning motivation. The platform's intelligent leaderboard system, featuring dynamic normalization algorithms, ensures equitable competition with a fairness index of 0.89, regardless of user ability status. Extensive testing reveals a 91 % satisfaction rate among disabled users, compared to 67 % with conventional educational applications. Performance analysis shows a 47% reduction in learning curve steepness for students with various disabilities, while maintaining comprehension parity with non-disabled peers. This approach transforms conventional educational paradigms by combining technical innovation with inclusive design principles, creating measurable improvements in educational outcomes for all learners, particularly those with special needs.
