Game Over: Why your attempts to gamify your course don’t work (and how to fix it)
How can you, as an educator, consistently balance an intellectually rigorous course that produces exceptional learning, promotes equity in your classroom, and engages students? Gamification could be the answer, but attempts to gamify learning frequently end in poor, inequitable returns, or even outright failure. Why? Game designer Jeremy Winn breaks down the reasons why an incomplete understanding of the principles of gamification results in hours of wasted effort and why successful gamification is simpler than you think. Jeremy will walk you through the creation of your very own gamified assessment. Bring a learning goal to work with!
