WACCy Wednesday Webinar – Game Over: Why your attempts to gamify your course don’t work (and how to fix it)

Wednesday, February 23^rd
Noon – 1:00 PM

Game Over: Why your attempts to gamify your course don’t work (and how to fix it)

How can you, as an educator, consistently balance an intellectually rigorous course that produces exceptional learning, promotes equity in your classroom, and engages students? Gamification could be the answer, but attempts to gamify learning frequently end in poor, inequitable returns, or even outright failure. Why? Game designer Jeremy Winn breaks down the reasons why an incomplete understanding of the principles of gamification results in hours of wasted effort and why successful gamification is simpler than you think. Jeremy will walk you through the creation of your very own gamified assessment. Bring a learning goal to work with!

WACCy Wednesday Webinar – Raising an Eyebrow at Grades: Ungrading for Equity, Inclusion, and Success

On January 25, 2022 By asells25In 20222 Comments

WACCy Wednesdays are back! In lieu of the annual in-person Washington Canvas Conference (WACC), the eLearning Council (ELC) is pleased to offer a second season of free WACCy Wednesday Webinars. The 2022 series will open in January and continue with monthly webinars through June. Please join us for the first webinar in the series:

Wednesday, January 26^th
Noon – 1:00 PM

Raising an Eyebrow at Grades: Ungrading for Equity, Inclusion, and Success

“Ungrading” is a provocative concept that encompasses a wide spectrum of assessment and classroom policy design decisions. As Jesse Stommel put it, “‘Ungrading’ means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice, distinct from simply ‘not grading.’” Join Caleb to explore how grading policies relate to student equity, inclusion, and success, and to unpack some ungrading theories, practices, and techniques. Caleb will also discuss how Canvas can support ungrading and share a bibliography of additional resources to help you dive more deeply into this emerging topic.
