Different students prefer different in-class and extra class activities ergo to engage students in coursework academics nowadays use gamification. Gamification can be defined as the use of game design elements in nongame contexts. Under the gamification, different user types prefer different game mechanics and game dynamics in activities. The aim of this paper is to research which type of in-class activity (lectures, project guided class, workshop and gamified activities) engages students the most and whether gamified content is better compared to conventional teaching method. With a use of gamification user type model we will also explore which type of students prefer what kinds of in- class activities. Using Intrinsic Motivation Inventory after each course activity, we will inspect the student engagement and motivation aligned with Self-Determination Theory of motivation.
