Gamification, Squared: Keeping Students Engaged with 2 Types of Gamification

Andy Van Drom Editor, Profweb

While the return to face-to-face classes is definitely beneficial to the teacher-student relationship and interaction between students, it might also diminish the frequency and quality of students’ engagement with course content. Indeed, students may be more likely to see face-to face courses as content blocks they only engage with once a week, in comparison with distance courses, especially those including content and activities delivered asynchronously. To counter this potential undesirable effect of returning to the classroom, I decided to implement 2 forms of gamification in my English as a second language (ESL) course: content gamification and structural gamification.

Bringing Distance Learning Tools into the Classroom

Or are you looking for innovative and effective ways to integrate some of these distance learning tools in the physical classroom environment? I opted for the latter, and will be sharing some ideas in this article to encourage you to do the same. As part of a co-development effort, please don’t hesitate to share your own ideas and practices using the “Comment” function at the bottom of this page.

Bashing Trash in Class: A Bad Book Podcast Project

Simon Côté-Massicotte Editor, Profweb

To help counter the increased cognitive fatigue and isolation of my literature students during the pandemic, I wanted to create a collaborative project that would foster more casual interactions between my students. The result was a podcast project where my students had to read “bad” literature and criticize it with their co-hosts. In the end, they read garbage and had a good laugh, all while developing their critical thinking and reviewing literary theory.
