Given the lack of deadlines and the wide variety of options for earning points, attendance is even more of a challenge in the gamified course than it is in a &#8216;regular&#8217; one. As a result, I decided I would make more of an effort to modularize the course. I intend to provide pre-tests for each module so that students will get feedback on their level of preparedness before the module is taught. The hope is that this will let students know which sections of the course they should attend and which ones they can safely skip out on. I do track attendance, so I&#8217;ll let you know how it works out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5461\" src=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/gamification-300x205.png\" alt=\"gamification\" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" srcset=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/gamification-300x205.png 300w, http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/gamification-1024x701.png 1024w, http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/gamification.png 1073w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>If you are interested in following my course\u00a0journal, watch for the &#8220;Gamification 101&#8221; heading.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for more information on gamification, <a href=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/Gamification\/doku.php\" target=\"_blank\">check out my website here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-5464'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(5464);\" title='' ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'>Be the first to like.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(5464);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(5464);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Approximate Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>This is Part 2 in my continuing saga of my current iteration of a gamified course.
