Room: 106E Presenter: Andy Petroski, Director and Assistant Professor of Learning Technologies, Harrisburg University of Science & Technology Audience: K-6 Description: The multiplayer classroom is a technique to incorporate game elements into course design. The course is the game! The multiplayer classroom movement started in 2010 with Lee Sheldon, who was a professor at Indiana University at the time. Professor Sheldon's pursuit of integrating a game experience into the classroom resulted in a book, The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game, which has guided hundreds of educators to design their courses as games. The experience with a recent course re-design from a standard format to a multiplayer classroom format will be described in this session. Analysis of student feedback as well as other case studies beyond the grad course re-design will also be explored.
