Workshop Details

Abstract

Most educators have had to significantly change how they approach teaching and learning in the wake of COVID-19, facing the double challenge of maintaining student attention in an increasingly “gamified” world while in remote and asynchronous learning environments. Our team looked into ways that educators can use simple tools like Google Forms to create simple simulation exercises to gamify and flip teaching and learning experiences. In this workshop we will share what we learned, including practical tips and challenges of introducing simulations into asynchronous learning environments.
