Bootstrapping Our Way Across the Curriculum

We’re doing a MOOC!  To be more specific, we’re doing a Games-based Learning MOOC. A MOOC is a Massive Online Open Course based on the learning theory of connectivism. Since 2008, there have been a series of these free open online courses offered. This course is informed by their design and implementation. This MOOC will be an introduction to games-based principles and the motivation and engagement aspects of different types of games as they relate to learning. This is a free, open course for all educators. The model for the course design is based on social network knowledge construction.Read More
