Chris HaskellLisa DawelyIBM Academy of Technologyled to Second Life led to 3dGameLab & TeacherCamp
led to Boise State University - Masters in Education Technology (2017?)
led to Games & Simulations (EDTECH 532 & 531 - both used 3dGameLab for LMS)
led to Blowing up the Gradebook

Tip from Bill:
"Take Chris's courses.
They come with a Masters"

Old Model
Start with a perfect 'A'
Nocked down little by little all semester via the red pen

What's a Quest?
A. a Module in the courseB. a ChoiceC. a Concise writeup
❖ Short Video❖ Text description❖ Activity❖ Call to share / reflect

Solo or Group?
Lesson = Quest
Group = Raid

Better Quests
1. Videos <= 2 to 10 minutes
2. Short quests better than long
3. Maintain tension between challenge and dispair -

Peers
❖ Some people may be motivated by other people in the class.
❖ I liked knowing where I stood relative to my peers via our LMS's 'Group' function.

Badges❖ I like My Badges
❖ I love that they are Mozilla OpenBadges in some cases
❖ I love that they tie to standards
❖ More valuable if part of an ecosystem
