SUMMARY:Coffee Break - The ROWDY badges. Gamified elements to promote course expectations
DESCRIPTION:What is gamification and does it have an instructional value? The presenter will explain the teaching strategy related to the use of badges in a hybrid course and how she managed the achievement tool in Blackboard. Participants will explore the potential of gamified elements in an online learning environment and how to connect gamification to learning. \nCourse Number: \nCT0207 \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Nancy HallLecturer III for the Writing Core ProgramChallenging and uncertain circumstances require people to strive for excellence. I believe recognizing student potential enhances community\, facilitates synergy\, and imparts a desire for academic excellence. I seek opportunities for student growth and excellence through which we all tap the boundless and renewable source of energy within. As such\, the principles of synergy and sharing are important keys to understanding that we are each endowed with our own distinctive brand of excellence\, enthusiasm and talent.
