Anyway, if I may just contribute a little bit on Gamification with a Moodle-Wall slant.

We don't necessarily need to chang...Dear Enas,<br /><br />We don't necessarily need to change to our assessment if we add a bit gamification to the learning environment. Though, if gamification and games become a large part of the learning environment and experience, then yes changing the way we assess becomes paramount.<br /><br />However, in general are we really assessing what we claim to be assessing? <br /><br />Today, much of the programme/course assessment I come across is basically testing whether students are good photocopy machines, and hardly really challenge them to think (beyond!!!!)... So, yes we need to revamp the current assessment methods (in many Universities) to reflect and measure real (authentic) learning and learning outcomes (as much as possible) :)<br /><br />Seriously, we have no choice, if we want to be relevant beyond 2020 :(<br /><br />Thanks again for your reflections :)ZaidLearnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621097605357272748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421717067893938118.post-79655678785978837052012-05-12T03:57:47.813+08:002012-05-12T03:57:47.813+08:00Zaid,

And "congratulations" on wining the Nobel Prize for literature so many times:)<br /><br />I really enjoyed how you put together the graphic at the beginning of your post. <br /><br />I agree that engagement is such an important part of learning and to your first statement about engaging lectures, I agree. I think a skilled lecturer can engage the audience through mental pictures, vivid imagery and thought provoking ideas. <br /><br />Good designers of instruction have been using gamification techniques for engaging their learners. The idea behind the work was to make some of those ideas more visible to all designers and presenters of content so they can make their instruction more engaging and interesting. <br /><br />Gamification is a good way of thinking about designing instruction and in getting people to think in the lens of a game designer and not necessarily an instructional designer and, ideally, to meld the two.<br /><br />Again, thanks for being a great stop on the tour!!Karl Kapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586071112339563727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421717067893938118.post-2206897129725047592012-05-11T14:58:41.544+08:002012-05-11T14:58:41.544+08:00Excellent Article as usual Mr Zaid
