The discussion forum was  the  instrument  used  for  data  collection.  In  the  end,  the  results  showed  that  the gamification  strategy,  developed  in  a  sequenced logic,  makes  it  possible  to  carry out  a procedural assessment, considering the entire process of an online discipline, but that it is possible to carry out other types of assessment such as diagnosis and the mediator.
