Using Groups and Academic Games for Learning and Assessment
with Barbara J. Millis
Games can be an effective way to motivate students to learn course material; to encourage them to come to class prepared; and to assess student learning. However, few books or articles on games emphasize and model their genuine academic value. Too often games are merely “icebreakers” or “team building” activities. All the group activities and games modeled during this interactive workshop are focused squarely on academic content and formative assessment. An emphasis will be on student “ownership” of the games’ answers and on responsible group learning.
