Michelle, can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got involved in gamified assessment methods?

That's when I discovered gamification and its potential to transform learning experiences. HOST: Fascinating! Can you share some current trends in gamified assessment methods that our listeners should know about? GUEST: Absolutely. One trend is the use of adaptive learning technologies, which customize game-based assessments based on individual learner needs. Another trend is the integration of virtual reality and augmented reality to create immersive learning environments. HOST: Those sound like powerful tools for enhancing student motivation and learning outcomes. What challenges have you faced or seen others face when implementing gamified assessment methods? GUEST: There can be resistance from both educators and students who are unfamiliar with these techniques. Additionally, developing effective gamified assessments requires a solid understanding of game design principles and instructional strategies. HOST: That's true. As we look to the future, how do you see gamified assessment methods evolving and shaping the educational landscape? GUEST: I believe gamified assessments will become more prevalent as educators recognize their benefits.
