“...the incorporation of game mechanics, dynamics, and frameworks to
promote desired
behaviors.”
Lee & Hammer, 2011
harnesses the motivational power
of games
and applies it to
real-world
problems.
Gamification/Quest Based Learning is based on the pedagogy of constructivism where students complete quests progressively to reach the final destination on a map that is reflective of their learning journey. Working with our current student population and needs, it allows the reconstruction of instructional design to meet the needs of students in a digital world
Tim-Student buy-in is important. Give students a voice regarding rewards. Rewards could be attached to the leaderboard
