10 SCECH credits are approved and available for this conference. State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCECHs) are State Board approved credit for qualifying in-services, workshops, trainings or conferences, that may be used for renewal of selected certificates issued by the Michigan Department of Education.

WHO:

This event is designed for higher education faculty, K-12 teachers, and professional development staff who are interested in a method of teaching that supports student ownership of learning.

WHAT IS GAMEFUL LEARNING?

Gameful learning is a new pedagogical approach that takes inspiration from the engagement we see in video games, and uses it to reimagine what traditional learning environments could be like – particularly, what role students can play and how the design of assessment systems supports student engagement. More than gamification, gameful learning is not about making school easy or turning learning into a video game. Instead, gameful is about designing environments where students are encouraged to focus on the craft of learning; where they take responsibility for their learning, and make self-aware choices regarding how they can best learn and be assessed on their development of content mastery. Gameful classes encourage students to take risks because students can recover from failure.
