    Excellent course. The instructor defines gamefication and gives the viewer principles of game design, types of players, and examples of many types of games that can be incorporated in the classroom.

    Love these sessions that offer so many resources for me to apply into my own class! I’ve attended multiple sessions at conferences about gamification, but Lisa still managed to introduce new resources that I’ve never seen before! I appreciate that this is tailored to all levels of students.
