I first came across this concept in late 2016.\u00a0 I attended a one day course about Gamification by a former senior of IIUM (Zayd Ali Alsagof<\/a>).\u00a0 I never met him while at IIUM.\u00a0 He was two years senior.\u00a0 The chances that I would take the same class would be slim if he majored in psychology.\u00a0 Most of the time, we would take the courses based on level (of difficulty).\u00a0 Looking at the course code, you can understand that the course is meant for students at certain year of study.\u00a0 It does not mean that if you are a first year student, you can’t take courses which are meant for final year student.\u00a0 It is just that you will “struggle” a lot because the courses would be much complicated and most instructors would assume that you already know some of the theories that you would learn in different classes that you take in junior year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, here I am teaching at a university and yet I am struggling to learn about the current things in education.\u00a0 I went to this gamification workshop on volunteer basis because I feel that I need to improve my teaching practice.\u00a0 I want to “inject” something new in my teaching every semester.\u00a0 That’s my aim.\u00a0 In sha Allah\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I learn a lot from the course.\u00a0 But there are so many things that I have yet to explore even though some of the things are not free like Prezi<\/a>. or Padlet<\/a>.\u00a0 One thing at a time.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the things that I immediately implement in my class is online assessment. It is not that we don’t have online assessment on UTM elearning, but the feature is different from other online assessment such as Quizziz<\/a>, Kahoot!<\/a> and such.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

So, I tried Quizziz in my MPPU1024.\u00a0 The students felt excited because it is like playing a game, rather than taking a test.\u00a0 There are immediate feedback\/answers using memes and there is also a ranking.\u00a0 Yup.\u00a0 All “players” will be ranked.\u00a0 At the end of semester, I asked the students to give me feedback about the activities that we did in class.\u00a0 Some of them give positive notes about Quizziz.\u00a0 I wrote a paper and presented it in a conference<\/a> in 2017.\u00a0 Since then, I start to collect more data every time I use Quizziz in my class.\u00a0 But, it is kind of challenging to get feedback from students unless it is considered as a part of the grading.\u00a0 Another challenge, another way to tackle.\u00a0 One thing at a time.\u00a0 This is what make teaching interesting.\u00a0 There would always be challenges that you need to deal with.\u00a0 \u00a0Never ends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
