Would have liked to see the reasoning behind the solution to the activity as this could have been very instructional - e.g. why one scenario was seen as mastery, one as challenge, etc.

Very good videos to support concept

This module really gets you thinking about the power of games (Gamification) and I especially like the resources section at then end of the module, which had some very interesting projects, games and ideas to get you started

Multi-layered, multiple applications...and multiple uses in and out of the classroom.

Using gamification is needed in the classroom to keep learners motivated and as mini formative assessments.

Thought provoking.

Informative

Gamification has definitely something to offer and I've found some activities really benefit and get students buzzing. However I've also found tasks and activities that don't lend themselves to gamification or where the modest value added is simply not worth it. The examples used in this module were really good (thought sample activity lacked the information it needed to move beyond a telepathy exercise...). It could have been useful to highlight what makes a bad example of gamification as well - I've probably seen as many bad examples as good ones. Worth also saying that some students will be resistant to gaming while others will be so obsessed with winning that the actual learning is quickly forgotten.

Good

I was not able to complete the 4 learning task questions and still don't agree with the answers revealed. I may be at fault in this but found it unsatisfying.

Useful introduction to the concept of playful learning and 'gamification'. Great extra resources to explore as well

interesting !

Some useful ideas but many that I already follow in teaching practice to support my students.

Good idea to get students involved more in their learning.

learnt some new terms for gaming in the lesson, links were useful

The Lego Foundation's White paper,

'Learning through play at school - A study of playful integrated pedagogies that foster children’s
holistic skills development in the primary school classroom',

released March 2019 would be a good addition to the resources here.

Whilst the focus is on primary education, the paper contains in-depth evidence in support of the pedagogical principles associated with playful learning. - well worth a read.

Would be good to see more examples of use of digital tools in creating game ideas - how common tools can be applied to this approach

Does not explain how to use Gamificaiton

Interesting to remind teachers about pedagogical practise and the reason for gamification.

Not very helpful really - many of the possible choices could have been right and we are not given enough information to make a certain choice - or direct feedback on which we chose correctly and which incorrectly - rather pointless really!

Feedback as you do each one would have been helpful.
