What defines a great professor? "Playing in the Sandbox: Conversations in Pedagogy" is a podcast series that answers this question with one word: play. Most will agree that the best professors and instructors of higher education are those who promote (and exemplify) passion, curiosity, exploration, experimentation, and the willingness to fail and try again. In other words, as this podcast argues, the best professors are those who meaningfully and thoughtfully play.

In this episode, The Collaborative hosts Dr. Katherine Troyer (Assistant Director) and Dr. Lauren Malone (Academic Technologist) discuss three different concepts--games for learning, serious games, and gamification--that all fit under the bigger umbrella term of game-based learning (GBL).
This episode is perfect for those who want to learn more about GBL as well as for those who are looking for ways to incorporate more elements of GBL into their new or existing courses. We talk about path/pace, structure, narrative, leveling, roles, incentives, and technology and the easy (and more complex) ways these can be incorporated into a gamified course or even just a gamified unit of a course.
