Gamification and Game Based Education

Gamification

• What is it?
  • Gamification often adds game elements and systems such as points, story, characters, meta-gameplay, student agency, and project based learning.
• How I help.
  • Work with educators to concept, design, and implement frameworks that use game elements to engage students in learning activities.

Game Based Education

• What is it?
  • Game Based Education uses games and gameplay as a pedagogical tool to allow students to experience using curriculum, and thereby gain meaningful comprehension of concepts.
  • Game types can vary from simple arcade to complex STEM or SEL sandboxes.
• How I help.
  • Concept designs with educators to identify specifics of students, curriculum, technology, and desired depth of mastery
  • Designing with educators to craft games for specific students, curriculum, pedagogy, and learning outcomes
  • Assist in design for gathering assessment metrics from gameplay events
