Bingel shows a virtual world of an island with different locations. Each location represents a different learning area and can be freely used by the pupils. The program includes an exercise platform that focuses on learning analytics. In this way, they can offer tailor-made exercises.
As an additional motivation, each student can create their own avatar and earn money for each completed task. The virtual money can be used by the students to release mini-games.
