Learn ways to implement Universal Design Learning (UDL), Gamification, and other non-traditional approaches in education. We explore interactive course design, alternative grading, and game examples.
Description:
The biggest challenge I often hear is how to actually apply all the cool gamification, UDL, and additional pedagogy one might have learned throughout the years. Ill walk you through a step-by-step guide of how Ive successfully integrated many fun and engaging approaches into my undergraduate theatre courses. These can be applied/adapted across different ages and subjects. Time will be made available to brainstorm ways to incorporate these concrete examples into participants own work. Join Lets Play Games: Improve Communication and Empathetic Understanding event to get more examples and actually play the games Led by Prof. Maya Michele Fein of Baldwin Wallace University and assisted by student, Matt Hanrahan.
Lets Play: Games That Improve Communication & Empathetic Understanding
Summary:
Learn and play games that Ive created and commercial games that Ive adapted that build skills in communication, interpersonal dynamics, and understanding each others unique POV.
Description:
These interactive games focus on how language and images can be interpreted differently, how to collaborate, and how to understand anothers POV while still authentically expressing your own. The range of activities Ill share can be applied throughout the arc of a course, within a specific unit, during a singular class period, or even as a 15-minute exercise. I will demonstrate my games: Subtext, Descriptionary, and Draw What I Mean. As well as adapted Commercial Games: Team 3, Hues and Cues, Dixit, Just One, and Blank Slate. Led by Prof. Maya Michele Fein of Baldwin Wallace University and assisted by student, Matt Hanrahan. For more in-depth pedagogy behind the games, join me for my Gamification & UDL: A Practical Application event.
