How can we, as instructors, motivate students and make disciplinary learning more fun?  Gamification in teaching is the use of game design techniques to engage, motivate, and deepen the learning of students. Examples of gamification techniques include: turning assignments into problem-solving challenges, offering students multiple paths and multiple types of assignments, making the different criteria for assessment explicit (“experience points” are different from “skill points”), and providing repeatable opportunities to “level up” or take on challenges. In this session, instructors will share their experiences and insights from gamifying various aspects of their teaching.  Participants will then collectively brainstorm and discuss opportunities, challenges, and strategies for successfully gamifying aspects of teaching and the assessment of student learning.
