Synopsis

Student motivation and engagement are an ongoing challenge for classroom instructors. A substantial body of literature indicates that the use of non-traditional interventions, such as games, simulations, multimedia instruction and interactive activities are valuable teaching methods. These tools encourage active learning, collaboration and interactivity. Participation in an activity requires the use of content by the learner; thus ensuring that students are working with the ideas being taught, and applying them.

This workshop will provide participants with hands-on experience on the creation of game show-style interactive games using PowerPoint. The session will also introduce various game types according to class size.

• PowerPoint for Teaching: A Quick Start
