Practical Tips To Integrating Gamified Learning Transitioning from gamification theory to applied practice can be difficult. This session will snapshot our experiences in practical first steps. BetterWhat is the reason you choose this session? Gamifying courses seems to be the trend and I'm looking for new, successful models for inspiration and reference. Gamification is context specific--what works in one area may not work in other areas. Did the session fulfill your reason for attending? Yes!!! Presenters created a complete overview of their environment including background, situation, faculty attitudes, etc. to give context on how they applied their gamification strategies. Did the speakers effectively address the topic and provide new insights? Focus is on practical application on gamification of courses. Presenters come from a complete asynchronous environment. Faculty were offered faculty training in gamification and were provided credit. IDs modeled the use of gaimification in the courses they developed to show--not just talk about--gamification.

Bbq Shrimp & GritsSautéed gulf shrimp with an amber beer & rosemary reduction, creamy stone-ground grits served with a buttermilk biscuit Yummy! The grits were a bit lumpy but the shrimp and sauce were wonderful-very similar to a filipino shrimp adobe without the shrimp shells and head. The biscuit was also light and sweet. The Ruby Slipper

The Crawfish Étouffée was great as well as the company. The Gumbo Shop
New Orleans is a Mecca of culinary temptations and as a native I wouldn't want it any other way. Temptation and atonement are part of our culture. With religious roots that are primarily Catholic, thanks to our French founders, the church affects our calendar in a rather unique way: we celebrate Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, the final day of feasting before 40 days of Lent. The traditional abstinence from meat during this time leading up to Easter means that we have to "sacrifice" by enjoying the bounty from nearby waters: fish, shrimp and oysters from the Gulf of Mexico, crabs from Lake Pontchatrain, and crawfish from area swamplands. New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 and named after the regent, the Duke d’Orleans. Passed to the Spanish for a while, it went back to France long enough for Napoleon to sell it to a fledgling United States of America in 1803. In New Orleans, the French influence over local cooking was just the beginning. Throughout the years African slaves were often the cooks. Through one of the nation’s busiest ports have come new citizens from Germany, Ireland, the French Caribbean Islands, Italy, Greece, Croatia and more recently, Asia. The Choctaw Indians were already living in this swampy mosquito-infested piece of land, below sea level and shaped like a crescent on the Mississippi River. They introduced powdered sassafras or file_ which they called “kombo” to settlers as a staple for one of many styles of the indigenous soup we call gumbo – from the African word “kingumbo” meaning the vegetable okra. A gumbo usually contains either file_ or okra as a thickener. Just as gumbo is a blend of many cultures, so is the origin of the word. However, the base of most gumbos is “roux” – flour and fat with seasonings that is browned to provide an almost nutty flavor. A Collaborative Approach To Course Redesign With Student-Centered Learning Just One Click Away Details of an innovative, blended learning course design that promotes student affordability and interactive learning just one click away will be provided. What is the reason you choose this session?
Besides designing courses for online, the Mount has been showing a lot of movement to creating and teaching in blended environments. Active learning strategies and processes that lead to successful course design is most certainly an interest of mine. Did the session fulfill your reason for attending? NO. The presenter used LON-CAPA, a problem solving tools as the center tech used to incorporate student centric learning. It does not solve all the problems. He used other tech that made lots of sense in the professors mind, I'm sure. To the audience, he spoke in code. Did the speakers effectively address the topic and provide new insights? The professor presenting his case study did not communicate effectively to the masses the process structure of how he designed his course. The case study background was not clearly mapped to understand where the presentation was going. Was the presentation dynamic and engaging? The professor was well spoken, but it seemed you needed to have attended the "part 1" of his discussion to understand the current "part 2". Lots of small text forms, a bit overwhelming at the end of the day. You need a decoder to understand the process. Are there any materials given for further exploration? No materials given. What information was the most beneficial? No, not really. I'm thinking. I'm feeling a disconnect with the title of the session and the content covered. Where is the collaboration? Where is the student-centered learning? Part of the coded decoded:
What information would be beneficial for your team? Not much here. SHRIMP TCHEFUNCTE*Gulf shrimp, Créole meunière, roasted mushrooms, green onions, popcorn rice Love at first taste. I'm coming back to order this dish again before I leave NOLA. I was in food heaven--completely ignored my lunch mates. "Don't bother me, I'm eating!" The Palace Café’s

Hybrid Classroom For Three Different Audiences: On-Campus, Synchronous Online, And Asynchronous Online Direct and up to date report on a 2 year research project on hybrid learning at the Digital Worlds Institute, University of Florida The What is the reason you choose this session? Working with various departments and courses designed to be taught in the hybrid environment, this session promised lots of info to support and guide the efforts of establishing success courses. Did the session fulfill your reason for attending? Yes, absolutely. The session did provide some perspectives of the "how" some hybrid and online class content were produced and developed with the use of Canvas as a delivery method. They did use Conferences for synchronous versions of the course. A type of studio was built and dedicated for these face-to-face lecture/recording studio. Did the speakers effectively address the topic and provide new insights? The speaker's presentation revolved around case studies at the University of Florida to bring online/hybrid courses as regular offerings. The presenter discussed their use of Canvas as their LMS. The lectures of the instructor's lecture was immediate sent to an editor after recording. A 24-48 hour turn around time could be expected for edits to be completed before they were made available to students taking the course for the following semester in a hybrid/online environment. In other words, use face-to-face class time to record lessons for post-production. Was the presentation dynamic and engaging?
PowerPoint presentation had a lot of good pictures supporting the topics, creating a kind of behind the scenes experience. the video produced to showcase the hybrid experience was done well. Production values were high, simple Ken Burns camera movements with uplifting music. Are there any materials given for further exploration? No materials were disseminated for this session. What information was the most beneficial? The idea of using F2F courses as production time for upcoming online/hybrid courses is an interesting idea to discuss for our university. Creating a lecture/F2F recording classroom is an awesome idea that MSMU could easily put together. The issues of student satisfaction and boredom was addressed with regards to creating a much more engaging presentation of in-class lecture and engagement. What information would be beneficial for your team? Think about creating or converting a classroom that are specifically designed to capture lecture content for future online courses. Face-to-face students can see their online peers, and multiple camera angles can capture the lecture in a much more aesthetically appealing manner than just a single camera in from of the professor. There would be a need for dedicated technical personnel to operate cameras and editing. Ideas of creating a F2F/Hybrid/Online theater equipped with recording capabilities and synchronous communication is worth discussing for planning future methods of instruction |
