The role of online gamification in promoting online courses

Ahmed Rashad Ragab, A PHD researcher, Teacher educator and a external auditor in the  Egyptian national authority of education quality, is passionate about the new trends of teaching and training

 

The increasing shift towards online learning, particularly after the global COVID-19 pandemic, has required educators to explore innovative ways to engage students in virtual classrooms. However, many challenges hinder educators from achieving the desired results. According to Kaufmann “(2018)”, gamification can help students overcome complex academic challenges. The study reflects that gamification has been shown, across multiple levels of academic instruction, to positively impact task completion by enhancing the experiential elements of the learning process.

 

In this presentation, the presenter will engage attendees to brainstorm as many gamification websites as they can and demonstrate how to use them as assets in their online courses. Together, the presenter and participants will explore how to make online courses more effective by using gamification tools and clarify their elements.

According to “Montederamos” (2022), there are five core elements of online gamification: core values, points, badges, leaderboards, and awards. Consequently, Teachers can use a variety of websites for online teaching, including Quizzes, Quizlet, Wordwall, Kahoot, Brightful, Sido, Gimkit, Mentimeter, and more. These platforms can be combined to attract students’ attention, break the ice, assess learning, or foster interaction patterns among them.

All in all, the presentation will provide participants with a practical approach to master the use of gamification sites to enhance their online teaching experience and make it more engaging and insightful.

Kidnapped on a plane

 

  




   Have You ever travelled to a foreign country alone? Last year My cousin sent me an invitation to visit him in Canada. I felt happy since I loved travelling abroad and wanted to try something new and adventurous. I packed my suitcases and went to the airport on time but unfortunately my flight delayed because of the bad weather.

 

    It was my first time to be on a plane and I couldn’t imagine to be flying over the clouds one day but it happened and I was enjoying my first flight to North America. Everything went well but suddenly I heard weird noise near the captain Cabin I tried to understand what was going on  till I realized that the plane was kidnapped by a group of international kidnappers.


   The kidnappers Forced the pilot to land on Marsellia- France. The pilot was sensible and brave he submitted to their demands and landed on Marsellila. We were locked up on the plane for Twenty minutes. They passed like twenty years. Luckily the police arrived and arrested the kidnappers and everyone was safe. It was a terrible experience but I learnt that staying in my home country is the safer place and I have never thought about traveling again.
