Rezensionen

"Dr. Adare-Tasiwoopa ápi and Silva have provided an amazing and valuable resource by synthesizing the vast and complex research literatures on gamified and game-based learning, education, and psychology, to help instructors and course designers meaningfully begin their journey with games and gamification. Where many other books of this sort are bound tightly to the expertise of their writers, this book is explicitly interdisciplinary, and it does a remarkable job simplifying complex theory across many fields into straightforward, accessible applications. Where many other gamification books overpromise with unlimited benefits and zero effort through all flash and no substance, this book gives a realistic and thoughtful set of resources all while teaching about games and gamification in learning integrated with sound, approachable pedagogy. I can recommend no other book more highly for the newcomer to gamified learning - start here!"

"What do telenovelas, missions to Mars, simulated internships, and escape rooms have in common? They're all ideas for transforming courses through gamification. Gamification in Higher Education explains how and why to use game elements to engage and instruct college students. This book is an ideal resource for faculty and instructional designers across disciplines who want to go beyond the basics in gamified learning. It offers a richly detailed set of fully developed teaching activities along with creativity-sparking ideas."
