@ennasuite hey Susan, great to see another #ILT5320 learner join #profchat

RusulAlrubail - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

@mehrnoush tell us more about how you know that... what kind of feedback are you receiving from them about their play & learning? #profchat

ZSharon Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 the younger learners love it because I offer a nonlinear approach; the older learners don't like it for the same reason #profchat

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: 1/2 Games are a huge part of community-building in my class. I am a @gameofphonesnyc and @2roomsandaboom apostle. #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: Very little #gbl in #highered exp. I created a game once (paper, whiteboard, projector) and taught class makes videogame art #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

@RusulAlrubail hmmmm.... @anterobot what are you teaching and designing right now? #profchat

RusulAlrubail - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

@mehrnoush @remiholden that's awesome! Haven't used socrative before but have heard great things. #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

Today a faculty showed me the matching game she made for parts of the brain because it's "boring" according to her #profchat

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1: 2/2 And then game design becomes a fundamental part of how students express and reconcile learning content within class. #profchat.

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

I play games with @Peachey_Pie and @remiholden in #ilt5320. So far interesting and fun! #profchat https://t.co/eKz3pD0SbG

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: We use a lot of sims in our health care classes. Faculty also use fun quizzes. Also I get to play games in my #ILT5320 class! #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

@ZSharon that's so interesting... can you tell us more about why? #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:11 PM EST

@lfayala2272 that's really cool... how did your students respond? #profchat

@remiholden @anterobot I'm not teaching at the moment. Currently growing @helloTWP #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

@RusulAlrubail A1 Use lessons in the LMS that direct students along decision paths. #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

@remiholden it's exciting, new, involves tech, different than existing experience. share the results on the screen #peerpressure #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

@philosophypaul @RusulAlrubail that's interesting... how do you see decision paths as either game-based or playful? #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: My faculty often want to make choose your own adventure type games, but don't know how #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie what's the appeal of choose your own adventure games for the faculty you collaborate with? #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

@philosophypaul @RusulAlrubail Could be similar to the work I'm doing--do you mean branching narrative, or text-based RPG? #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

@mehrnoush @remiholden #profchat you can download spreadsheets with data from teh quizzes if they have logged in - quick way to gather data

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: My faculty often want to make choose your own adventure type games, but don't know how #profchat

dbuckedu Feb 9 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: @SoftChalk integrates nice game-based activities into their lesson builder. Integrates directly in LMS and grade book. #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@RusulAlrubail @remiholden my first experience with #profchat so exciting 2 b here

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@remiholden Patient care, making critical decisions and the outcomes and how it affects patients, families and other medical staff #profchat

thelearnersway Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@mehrnoush @RusulAlrubail @remiholden #profchat Mine too :D

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@dbuckedu @SoftChalk hey David, thanks for dropping by #profchat tonight!

lfayala2272 Feb 9 @ 8:14 PM EST

@remiholden great, the idea is to have an open ended problem based on data generated by the ss #profchat https://t.co/FOhNELBags

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@remiholden Reply; playful depends on lesson creator; decision paths allow S to determine consequences of a path #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@mehrnoush @RusulAlrubail it's great to learn with and from you, thanks for joining! #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@RusulAlrubail What could a #highered english/writing game look like? I use @duolingo, like this game? #profchat https://t.co/MkohdKcSfX

RusulAlrubail - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 honestly, I'd love to see examples of game based learning in highered specifically with English/writing classes. Please share! #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie Great tool to start with is Adobe Captive; example I shared from @uconnhealth was built entirely within Captivate #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@mehrnoush @RusulAlrubail @remiholden Welcome Mehrnoosh to #profchat

thelearnersway Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie @remiholden Reminds me of the Choose your own ending books from childhood #profchat

ennasuite Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie Is she hoping that spicing up the material will help students with memorization/understanding? #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@remiholden #Kahoot is like TimePlay #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie https://t.co/2vEGuUCGS8 #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:15 PM EST

@steveslota Problem is we only have 1 license and only 1 person capable enough to use it :( #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@jweeble @Peachey_Pie thanks for sharing this resource! #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@jweeble Cool thanks!! #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@thelearnersway @mehrnoush @RusulAlrubail @remiholden Welcome also to Susannah #profchat Return often

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@philosophypaul that's element of choice and interest-driven learning is really important for game-based learning #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:16 PM EST

@steveslota Sounds interesting! I'm also interested in med oriented games + sim to mock up real world exp. #profchat https://t.co/MD5EVoa2bm

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 (2/2): Currently doing med/dental edu games designed to situate patient interaction & content (https://t.co/xGludsecV1) #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2 coming up in a minute... #profchat

thelearnersway Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

@remiholden @jweeble @Peachey_Pie #profchat Yes! What a great resource!

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2: Are there certain #highered disciplines, courses, and/or #edtech that are more supportive of game-based and playful learning? #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie Same can be done with PowerPoint; a little clunkier but doable. Would recommend starting with 1 small module #profchat

dbuckedu Feb 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

One concern Ss have involves how the "game" is assessed/graded. If there are points, they seem hesitant to play authentically. #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@steveslota @Peachey_Pie i've made some interesting forced-choice and puzzle-like "games" using powerpoint before #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@steveslota @Peachey_Pie #profchat :) I've done both - forms seems to be a little smoother overall. Not fancy but a 10th grade ss can do it

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@dbuckedu yup, which is a major critique to some of the #gamification approaches that pass as superficial game-based learning #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

@remiholden #profchat A2: I think it depends on the culture of the community more than the discipline.

thelearnersway Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

I must say this https://t.co/B2QNzmg5zK learning twitter share platform is SWEET! #profchat

ennasuite Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

@philosophypaul That sounds really cool. I imagine it choosing pathways helps with engagement as well #profchat

RusulAlrubail - Moderator Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

@mehrnoush @remiholden that's so good to hear!! It's a perfect chat for first time educators :) #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

@KirkLunsford Big challenge to make something practical; med Ss want to cut to the chase; sims are great but need to be quick #profchat

dbuckedu Feb 9 @ 8:20 PM EST

So I guess the challenge is to connect the playful learning to authentic results. #profchat https://t.co/0woPVXep8b

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:18 PM EST

@dbuckedu yup, which is a major critique to some of the #gamification approaches that pass as superficial game-based learning #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:20 PM EST

@steveslota @KirkLunsford is that counter-intuitive Steve because med is a practice-based field requiring precision & empathy? #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:20 PM EST

@mehrnoush #profchat welcome!

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:20 PM EST

@dbuckedu that's a major challenge in the realm of game-based learning, regardless of content or grade. Reason over reward. #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

@steveslota @KirkLunsford Sims also need to be serious, patient lives aren't games! But we use Sim A LOT at @PAHealthSciEDU #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

@ennasuite Reply: Yes, choosing paths helps w engagement.Learn outcome of choices. #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

@remiholden @dbuckedu Key is rich authenticity; aligning lrning & game objs to eval real world skill eliminates need for points #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

@steveslota Are there challenges with #gbl game mechanics versus technical language of med? SME edits? #profchat https://t.co/Vzg5fYJ69O

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:19 PM EST

@KirkLunsford Big challenge to make something practical; med Ss want to cut to the chase; sims are great but need to be quick #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

@jweeble Thnx. Great to b here #profchat

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2: my experience is from an English & Ed teaching background BUT I think limitations to GBL are entirely on shoulders of profs. #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie @steveslota @KirkLunsford @PAHealthSciEDU isn't that the truth! do you have some exs to share abt sim design? #profchat

thelearnersway Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@steveslota @KirkLunsford #profchat So true. I used to make electronic health record application sims. #1 complaint: sims = too long.

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@remiholden @KirkLunsford Time is a valuable resource; agree they need precision/emp but they want to get the content & move on #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@steveslota @remiholden @dbuckedu Stephen: Is this in a project based class perhaps? #profchat

stephwurking Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: It has to do with applying #designthinking to make courses game-based. Game-based x gamification. #profchat https://t.co/ISK03TKFom

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2: Are there certain #highered disciplines, courses, and/or #edtech that are more supportive of game-based and playful learning? #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@anterobot that's a wonderful recognition Antero. creativity of pedagogy, ability to incorporate S feedback so important for Ts #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:22 PM EST

@anterobot #profchat kind of depends on the support w/in the dept for non-traditional learning pedagogy too ...

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:23 PM EST

@remiholden @steveslota @KirkLunsford We run mostly in person sim, but started with virtual sim this semester. Going well! #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:23 PM EST

@KirkLunsford Tricky but not too bad; focus on practicable skills rather than rote mem content; lang isnt too bad in-context #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:23 PM EST

@steveslota @KirkLunsford in that respect, nice to know games & sims are just a means for greater skill & knowledge acquisition #profchat

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

@jweeble UGH you are SO right on this. I have support and feel comfortable T&P wise for this... not to mention adjunct struggles. #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

What your favourite writing/grammar game for #highered? #profchat

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

@remiholden @steveslota @KirkLunsford Currently building a state of the art sim center at our new campus! #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

@anterobot A2 Logic w decision trees, STEM, and Health Sciences lend themselves to game based learning. #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

@mehrnoush have your students recommended any? #profchat

ennasuite Feb 9 @ 8:25 PM EST

Q2: Foreign language learning! so tied to identity, meaning-making, role-play etc. #profchat

anterobot Feb 9 @ 8:25 PM EST

@jweeble Maybe, as a GBL advocate, I need to check my tenure-line privilege when I discuss strategies and support all faculty. #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:25 PM EST

@anterobot #profchat I have great autonomy but know several others who feel forced to stick to the traditional methods

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:25 PM EST

@ennasuite that's a great point Susan, can you share some resources, or your experiences, w foreign lang learning & #gbl? #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:25 PM EST

@remiholden ss aren't always as tech savvy as we like them to b #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:26 PM EST

@anterobot @jweeble touche! #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:26 PM EST

A2: Totally! Programs about #gamedev or e-learning would be prime candidates for #gbl in my exp. #profchat https://t.co/zYlabt9mie

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2: Are there certain #highered disciplines, courses, and/or #edtech that are more supportive of game-based and playful learning? #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:26 PM EST

Late to the #profchat party, joining for a bit

stephwurking Feb 9 @ 8:26 PM EST

@dbuckedu Another misconception is sts at #highered disdain game-based courses. #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

@anterobot @remiholden #profchat :)

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

@mehrnoush interesting. most of my experience w #gbl & my continued design work takes very "low" or "analog" approach to #edtech #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

@remiholden A2: I think when it can apply to any course when it's implemented with a purpose #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

@KirkLunsford #profchat I've seen several history classes as well

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

Lucky you! Wish I could be a part of something like that! #profchat https://t.co/p3E1DRlfMp

Peachey_Pie Feb 9 @ 8:24 PM EST

@remiholden @steveslota @KirkLunsford Currently building a state of the art sim center at our new campus! #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

A2: Depends on content; @UConnMike2002 & I discuss diff btwn sim-oriented & game-oriented content; need focus on aligning LO/GO #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:28 PM EST

Q3 coming up in a minute... #profchat

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:28 PM EST

Agree. @Peachey_Pie wrote a recent blog post about use of #gbl for history as well. Very practical #profchat https://t.co/62Ub4HEeCa

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:27 PM EST

@KirkLunsford #profchat I've seen several history classes as well

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:29 PM EST

@remiholden @mehrnoush You mean low-tech, right? Not nearly enough attn paid to tabletop/text/board/card games in #gbl lit #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:29 PM EST

@dbuckedu does it always have to be assessed and graded? I use many gbl tools as formative assessment #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:29 PM EST

@steveslota @mehrnoush yes, certainly a bald way to distinguish "tools," but i'm returning more & more to paper & pencil in #gbl #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:29 PM EST

@KirkLunsford @Peachey_Pie #profchat I'll have to check it out! just met the both of you tonight :)

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

@mehrnoush try @quizlet it's a great tool with many games #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

Q3: How does, or how would, game-based & playful learning change more traditional approaches to #highered pedagogy? Share examples #profchat

mehrnoush Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

@dinamoati @quizlet thnx. will check it out #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

@dbuckedu does it always have to be assessed and graded? I use many gbl tools as formative assessment #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

@steveslota @UConnMike2002 Stephen How do you handle misalignment of game outcomes that is deliberate? #profchat

dbuckedu Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

No, but Ss may not engage if there are no points/grades applied. Some like playing the "game" of school. #profchat https://t.co/5tACPY3ZVY

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:29 PM EST

@dbuckedu does it always have to be assessed and graded? I use many gbl tools as formative assessment #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:30 PM EST

@remiholden @mehrnoush Welcome to our world, hehehe ;) Tabletop/low-tech have affordances for creativity you cant get with digital #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:31 PM EST

@stephwurking @dbuckedu an imp misconception as well is gamification # game based learning. They are not the same #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:31 PM EST

@dbuckedu yes, and the "game" of school is too often reinforced by #gamification, whereas #gbl can be subversive to schooling #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:31 PM EST

@remiholden A3 GBL can encourage trial and error as well as multiple learning paths for one outcome. #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:32 PM EST

@jweeble @dbuckedu especially when you mix it up, individual and team based. Students love it and it's fun #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:32 PM EST

@dbuckedu #profchat takes a spin on authentic learning within the context that we see in science- is it authentic if it is in school?

KirkLunsford Feb 9 @ 8:32 PM EST

Recent statistics show the majority of adults play games thus why not apply to #edu #gbl #profchat https://t.co/Jot0JgQmnI

stephwurking Feb 9 @ 8:26 PM EST

@dbuckedu Another misconception is sts at #highered disdain game-based courses. #profchat

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:32 PM EST

@philosophypaul @UConnMike2002 Not sure I understand your Q; we choose tech based on affordances for aligning game & learning objs #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:32 PM EST

@dinamoati @stephwurking @dbuckedu yes. my course #ILT5320 abt to take deep dive into that distinction cc @snicholson @mr_isaacs #profchat

No, but Ss may not engage if there are no points/grades applied. Some like playing the "game" of school. #profchat https://t.co/5tACPY3ZVY

  @dbuckedu does it always have to be assessed and graded? I use many gbl tools as formative assessment #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:33 PM EST

@dbuckedu not all, my Ss are on fire when I use @GetKahoot or @Socrative as a review tool in class. #profchat

@Peachey_Pie @KirkLunsford so true and they keep coming back to attain the goals of "level up" #profchat

philosophypaul Feb 9 @ 8:34 PM EST

A3 self determination theory, autonomy, competence and relatedness improve intrinsic motivation all found in games #profchat

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:34 PM EST

@ennasuite and that's a key distinction of play vs games. play is open-ended and interest-driven, some games not necessarily #profchat

dbuckedu Feb 9 @ 8:35 PM EST

Yes, I can see value in this as review. When entire course based on game, another story. #profchat https://t.co/PDBkzP4gFj

I'm focusing more on playful learning - utilizing it as a school based, free choice, informal learning, inquiry type activity #profchat

@dbuckedu would love to share my course with u.I gamified an entire course with badges & progress maps. Some engaged, some didn't #prpfchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:39 PM EST

@jweeble 👍🏻, providing choice for Ss is excellent element of gamification and fosters Ss autonomy #profchat

@dbuckedu not well at all! #profchat

dinamoati Feb 9 @ 8:40 PM EST

@dbuckedu badges were added to their portfolio as a showcase of achievements, tying those to grades isn't a good idea IMHO #profchat

Exactly what I would have expected! #profchat https://t.co/Qn6rvstzYc

remiholden Feb 9 @ 8:41 PM EST

@mehrnoush if so, what type of game-based or playful processes would you like to participate in? & toward what end? #profchat

jweeble Feb 9 @ 8:41 PM EST

@dbuckedu #profchat Penn state is doing a lot of work in that area as well

llminnis Feb 9 @ 8:41 PM EST

A4 I've done riddles with a group of volunteers in training, some engaged and some didn't take it seriously #profchat

Okay. But how did you arrive at a final grade for each student if entire content was tied to games? #profchat https://t.co/fLoADBaMXk

steveslota Feb 9 @ 8:42 PM EST

@Peachey_Pie @philosophypaul @OLCToday awesome... what feedback would you give them as a #gbl designer? #profchat

@philosophypaul indeed and makes me wonder if some Ts in both K12 and highered have always embraced playful approaches to learning #profchat
