Description
Gamification will transform your teaching methodology so that all your students are rowing in the same direction"
The distraction of students in class may be due to a variety of causes. Some show a clear lack of motivation due to the lack of incentives in the current educational system. Others, however, are susceptible to loss of concentration due to overstimulation: the state in which a young person experiences more sensations, noises or stimuli than they should, so they tend to be overly restless.
Whatever the case may be, it has been proven that traditional methods of recapturing their attention are becoming less and less effective. This undoubtedly poses a challenge for the teacher, who also sees how the academic progress of other students is interrupted, causing a general disruption to the class.
In this context, it is essential to stimulate students with innovative strategies, being the gamification strategies the ones that, today, bring the solution. The postgraduate certificate in Gamification and Game-Based Learning contains everything necessary for educators to master these cutting-edge techniques. They will increase their professional background with the development of game mechanics that will involve the whole class, while encouraging interaction among peers.
In this way, the program is aligned with the elements required by today's professors, putting them on a platter through a 100% online format in which students only have to provide one thing: an Internet connection. With it, they will 'travel' to success in their field thanks to an extensive Virtual Campus with interactive outlines, video summaries, specialized readings and much more.
