Special Guest - Emily Forand
Gamifying a Developmental English class
Pikes Peak Community College

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aL60dUUI4U&feature=c4-overview

Project Name: Gaming Literacy: An ENG 090 Class in a Video Game Format

Project Abstract:
The proposed Pikes Peak Community College (PPCC) project will pilot the
gamification of a hybrid developmental education writing course that uses an achievement-based assessment model (levels, badges, etc.). The pilot seeks to increase student learning, engagement, and retention through collaborative practice, peer-generated feedback, and student choice in coursework. A collaboration of PPCC’s Educational Services and Student Services Divisions,
students in the course will write and design an Interactive Fiction game and engage in a Minecraft-based re-design of the Centennial campus from th
e viewpoint of students using services. Course findings will be shared through
a Livebinder to facilitate system-wide course recreation.

We'll be running just a little late - hope to have them started at 2:15 pm.

Sorry about the delay!

This is how to take the code from flickr and post your picture directly.

First go to flickr and find the picture.

1)There is this little icon, in the bottom left-hand corner. It looks like an envelope with an arrow. Click on it.

2) That opens up the white pop-up that you see. Click on HTMLcode/BBCode and check on the bottom to look for the BBCode. Shivtr uses BBCode.

3)Make sure the BBCode has been chosen.

Copy the code! and paste directly into the discussion forum post.

That's how we add all of these pictures! And please also join the Games Based Learning MOOC flickr group.
