Description
Game On! Collaborative Learning Techniques for the Modern Classroom
Many instructors want students to think critically, collaborate effectively, and engage deeply—but traditional teaching methods often fall short. Lectures and passive learning environments can make it difficult for students to apply concepts in meaningful ways or stay motivated throughout a course. The result? Missed opportunities for authentic learning and real-world skill development.
In this 20-Minute Mentor, you’ll learn how to use game-based simulations to turn those challenges into strengths. Discover how to design purposeful, research-informed simulations that align with your course goals, encourage teamwork, and bring concepts to life across any discipline. You’ll gain practical tools—including reflection prompts, rubrics, and planning checklists—to help you create interactive learning experiences that boost motivation, critical thinking, and collaboration. Whether you teach online, in-person, or hybrid, this program gives you the confidence and structure to make every lesson more dynamic, inclusive, and impactful.
