As a new approach to course design, Gameful pedagogy "takes inspiration from how good games function, and applies that to the design of learning environments. Gameful design operates in a self-deterministic framework-we want to apply what self-determination theory says about how intrinsic motivation works to build motivating classroom experiences." In this talk, Prof. Qian Liu will discuss how to implement this gameful pedagogy in foreign language courses with her "Business Chinese" and "Media Chinese" courses as examples.
We want our students to be deeply engaged in their learning. We want them to work hard and take on intellectual challenges. We want them to take risks and try new things. And perhaps most importantly, we want students to be resilient in the face of failure. So why it is that the design of our educational system - including colleges and universities - encourages exactly the opposite behaviors? I propose that our grading and assessment systems are the heart of the problem.
Omari Akil will describe the challenges of leaving the tech industry and starting Board Game Brothas, one of the few Black owned hobby board game publishing companies in the country. He explains the motivation behind designing and producing games like Rap Godz, which focus on Black Culture yet require no knowledge or understanding of the source material in order to have a fun and engaging experience while playing. He will also touch on the racial tensions in the United States and how they have impacted the hobby board game industry.
