After being introduced to Zep in one of the sessions by Dr. Tazli from Skolar, I started experimenting with it in my own classroom. But I was still curious about what more it could offer. How could I use it more effectively for gamification? So, when I saw the poster entitled \u201cGamify dan Naik Taraf Kelas Anda dengan ZEP QUIZ\u201d<\/em> by Dr. Tazli, I signed up without hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s gamification all about? Let\u2019s throw back to the days of Game Ular<\/em> on the Nokia phone, TheSims, WoW or whatever game we once played. Why did we keep coming back to them? Maybe to level up, face challenges, enjoy the reward system, or simply because they were easy and fun to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why do 21st century learners need this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re glued to their gadgets. If we can\u2019t beat them, let\u2019s join them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When students are actively involved (playing the game), they might get it wrong. That\u2019s when we can step in with instant feedback. Interaction happens. Win-win situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, as instructors, how do we gamify? Where do we begin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As shared by Dr. Tazli, and also echoed in other sessions I\u2019ve attended, we should start small. After the first few weeks with our students, we can gauge their pace and participation. We can try using a simple exit ticket to recap the lesson of the day. Test it out and get feedback to see if they enjoy it. From there, we\u2019ll know what to do next. One thing is certain: it takes a few test runs before we find the ONE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And the ONE for me right now is Zep Quiz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It feels like a mix of Kahoot, Quizziz, and a bit of Second Life, and I\u2019m hooked. The demonstration on how to use Zep and how AI can help streamline the preparation process was really helpful. Whether used asynchronously or synchronously, students can learn while feeling a sense of control. They get to decorate their avatars, explore the virtual room, and even check why they got a question wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the teacher\u2019s end, it\u2019s also easy to get the hang of it, especially when trying out pre-made quizzes by other Zep users. We can make use of the free maps and create up to 20 questions in formats like multiple choice, short answer, or true\/false. We can start from scratch, use the AI feature to generate questions (hint: prompt wisely), or upload a pre-made set of questions. Once everything is ready, we simply share the quiz with our students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I guess the only thing left to say is… Let\u2019s Zep<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
