How to Design a Gamified Course | © 2017 Yasemin Islah 1

This is one of my favorites. The badges you create look so cool! Even if you don’t try to do so. Just make one and download.

It is actually a shop. They sell real badges to wear. But there is an option on the right of the site; it says make your own. Click there and create your badge and when finished, click on preview and print screen or right click and save your image.

Easy to use but somehow I don’t like the images. Maybe I couldn’t create a nice one :) Good news it doesn’t need sign up, just download it on your desktop. That’s all.

Cool one! But in order to download the badges you should create a free account. Not a problem for me!

You can use Canva for everything! I use this for lots of stuff. Easy to use and it lets you to save time for sure. But if you want to create badges it is not that easy as you have to find every part of a badge yourself and choose the colors, design etc.

Here again the badges look so cool. And anyone can create a badge as it is so easy. You can use the templates. You cannot save them; but you can send them to your friends. Strange. What I do is, right click and paste it on Paint.

You can create Lego characters with no signing up etc. But saving your picture is a little tricky. You should take a screen shot and paste it on Paint or somewhere to save the image.

Too many options to choose. But in order to download your avatar you should register with your email address. Or you can print screen and save it as a Picture. If you don’t mind the low resolution risk of course.

Just go to this website, create your avatar and save it on your desktop. No registrations no email need, nothing. Sorry for the creepy character I’ve made :)

At the beginning it was all free but now they want you to register and get the FREE TRIAL. But of course with less options. You need to upgrade your account to have the full version. What a pity!

You don’t need to sign up to create any Picasso face; but at the end it wants you to write your email to send the Picture to you.

You don’t need to sign up to create your avatar. At the end it has some options: you can send it to yourfriend, save it as a desktop image –you can right clickon the photo and save it as jpg etc- or print it out.

Quest 1: The Yeti and the GIF-10 pointsSound interesting? It is. In this challenge, you'll be programming and Yeti to dance and creating your own animated GIF (a very short movie)To complete this quest, you need to:•Change the variables (the fur and skin color and the hand and foot size)•Program the Yeti to walk on stage, do at least 5 movements, and exit the stage•Create four frames in the GIF with at least one animated "Doodle"•Click here for the Yeti•Click here for the GIFQuest 2: Flappy and the Others- 35 points•You'll be logging into your code.org account for this challenge. •Scroll down to Level 16: Flappy Bird.

By completing all 10 levels, you'll learn how to create your own animated, coded story.Quest 3: Scratching The Surface-50 pointsThis is the quest for those gamers who REALLY want a challenge. You'll be creating an account in a program called Scratch, which is very much like what we learned in the code.org lessons. With Scratch, there is so much you can do...create your own game, an animated story--the possibilities are pretty amazing.• Log in to Scratch with this link. Come up with a team name and a password you will both remember.•Explore the various coding blocks--pay special attention to the "events" blocks.

A Practical Way To Apply Gamification In The Classroom

SOME GOOD EXAMPLES

https://elearningindustry.com/practical-way-to-apply-gamification-in-the-classroom



Here are some of the elements I used to gamify my teaching and motivate my students:New system.Instead of grades (max 100%), students got eXperiencePoints (XP). When a student gets a grade of 60%, he/she feels disappointed because it shows them that they didn’t make it to the top. In games, however, the player gain points according to his/her performance and achievements. Therefore, the only way is up. Instead of grades, they get points: 500XP for doing homework, up to 1000XP for a quiz, 300XP for participation in the class, etc. To the “grades” off their minds, each unit of the science subject is called level. In each level, a student needs to gain at least 11.000XP to continue to the next level, and up to 20.000XP to get the top score. As you can see, I chose big numbers to get as far as I can from the notorious 100 score. To make things even more interesting: If a student gains more than 20.000XP, he/she can use these points in the next level. This gives him/her a better starting point over the others, hence competition + rewards = motivation. Students can only gain points; not lose them, as done in games. This way, students count up from zero, which is motivating, rather than lose points from 100%, which is demotivating if the student doesn't get the full 100% mark. Any effort from the student can be rewarded by points: The more they try, the more the score increases. Almost the definition of motivation, isn’t it? At the end of the day, the score translates back to a grade (up to 100%). After all, we still need to report according to the education system rules… let's be realistic, shall we? However, as the year goes by, the students don’t feel like being graded; they enjoy the game-like atmosphere, the competition, and their high scores.Competition.To enhance competition I presented the scores as a visual leaderboard style as shown below. As you can see, three students got more than the maximum of 20.000 XP and the extra points will be their “bonus” points at the next level.
