Gamified courses increase students’ motivation and participation and allow for the capability to reinforce knowledge and skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, persistence, and creativity.  In a game-based learning environment, learners are involved in a more challenging, meaningful, empowering, and deep understanding process.  Get engaged with us in a playful session about game design in Blackboard Learn.

Participants will be able to:

• Learn about game-based learning theories.
• Identify learning theories.
• Analyze different examples of how instructors have gamified their course.
• Discover how to create a narrative structure for your content.
• Balance engagement and complexity.
