Postcards from the
Torrid Zone
Using effective teamwork, story and
gamification to create a vibrant suite of
reusable learning objects
Getting Started
Why?
Addressing a need
Our Off-Campus
students can’t
attend face-toface classes.
Our On-Campus
students aren’t as
“on campus” as
they used to be.
A digital collection
benefits from a
digital IL class.
Our students
don’t all have
the same
starting point.
Kids these days,
eh?
What?
A suite of reusable learning objects
It had to start
from scratch.
It had to be
self-paced.
It had to be
reusable.
We didn’t need
to reinvent the
wheel (at least,
not *every*
wheel).
Then there was
this
“Gamification”
thing.
Well?
Outcomes and lessons learnt.
We learnt a lot
about team
work.
We actually
impressed
ourselves.
We reached a
lot of people
(all things
considered).
We need to fix a
few thing. s
^
We learnt a lot
from this
presentation.
