EVO Minecraft MOOC 2016



Understanding Gamification is complex■ Has to be

experienced to be understood

■ Syllabus pitched at learners who gravitate to a learning experience

– where we define our own outcomes

– find our own path to those outcome

■ The collective steers the syllabus, as happens in games

EVOMC16 models for students and teacher trainers■ Guides must be themselves

experienced in connecting

through networks in

innovatively oriented spaces

■ Who can guide teachers in

this kind of learning?

■ Minecraft as a model for

gamified learning, helps

participants

1. Find a community

2. Gain experience


Challenge #1 in Minecraft:Finding a community■ The first challenge

for adults interested

in Minecraft

is finding a

community that can

help you

– Most

communities for

Minecraft

involve school

children

― Security: Teachers wary of potential predators


The EVO Minecraft MOOC solution

■ Start our own community

■ Invite educators to learn the game by being in the game

■ Don’t let lack of expertise deter you

■ Experts will emerge


Challenge #2 in Minecraft:Gain experience■ The second challenge is creating / finding a space to

engage friends and colleagues in constructive play


What do we learn about gamification?

■ Create

■ Collaborate

■ Survive


Creativity

■ Filip (age 11) built a McDonald’s

■ Carlos (age 12) built a tower with an elevator

■ Jeff contributed the castle


Jeff Kuhn and Aaron Schwartz’s explosive trap play

Vance Stevens on Gamification in TPD at

MM7 2015

Don’t Push Button


Collaboration through play■ Filip’s rabbits provided food

once we learned to craft bows and shoot arrows

■ In survival mode

– Survival possible due to Jeff’s shelters with signs on

them offering sanctuary

■ Playing with lighting

■ Jeff used beacons to

provide landmarks at

night


Survival■ Creative mode

– unlimited inventories

– unlimited time

– no sudden death

■ Survival mode

– This is where the game gets fun


NOW we understand how gamification works in learning

■ Survivor’s badge

■ Evidence from 2015

We learn about the game (of teacher professional development) by being in the game
