Once again, DevLearn was a fun and exciting event. Always a good time meeting old friends and making new friends. One great thing about events like this is bumping into all of the wonderful graduates of Bloomsburg University’s Instructional Technology program. We had a lot of former students at the event “representing.”

Cooperation is a viable option for engagement when working with groups of students and if working together to achieve a goal is desirable.

In other words, if the game objectives match the curriculum objectives, disconnects are avoided between the game design and curricular goals (Schifter, 2013). 2013, February.

According to one study, 55% of teachers use games in the classroom on a weekly basis (“Teachers Surveyed” 2013). In fact, a study by Wouters (2013) comparing results from 38 individuals studies found that learning games or serious games are more effective in terms of learning and retention than conventional methods (lectures, discussions).

The progress might be in the form of a character moving up a mountain or an image of how close the learner is to the next level (Kapp, 2013). The concept is that the learner is able to “see” progress. Simultaneously the goal and the process of gamification is progression through content.
