Tip from Bill:

"Take Chris's courses.

They come with a Masters"

Old Model

Start with a perfect 'A'

Nocked down little by little all semester via the red pen

Water torture

Theory & Foundations Part I

New Model

Start with 0 - an 'F'

Can only go up from

here

2000 points for an 'A'

What's a Quest?

A. a Module in the courseB. a ChoiceC. a Concise writeup

❖ Short Video❖ Text description❖ Activity❖ Call to share / reflect

Solo or Group?

Lesson = Quest

Group = Raid

Better Quests

1. Videos <= 2 to 10 minutes

2. Short quests better than long

3. Maintain tension between challenge and dispair -

Motion Sickness1. "I'll just wait out this Minecraft

part until we get to a game with a 3rd person perspective"

2. Task Focused - Learn how to look

3. Spend all night building. Trans continental Railroads. Drained ocean monuments. Played with Red Stone circuits.

Ludaic Play Surprisingly, this appeared to be more important than expected when teaching my course using games.

QuizWhich are these ?

AgencyDo you relate Through your avatar enough to 'feel'?

Peers

❖ Some people may be motivated by other people in the class.

❖ I liked knowing where I stood relative to my peers via our LMS's 'Group' function.

Dr Chris Haskell's Graduate EdTech courses hosted in 3dGameLab

Beginning


Mid Game The first 'A'


Mid Game They don't stop at an 'A'

I had to increase the scale


End GameSome finish earlyMost get the grad they 'want'Many continue past an 'A'

But, what if we graded on a curve?

Badges❖ I like My Badges

❖ I love that they are Mozilla OpenBadges in some cases

❖ I love that they tie to standards

❖ More valuable if part of an ecosystem


Linear Patterns


Rockets Patterns


Procrastinators Patterns

History

❖ I can see what I did
