I have learned to review the course material by going through the class session myself first to better help the student be prepared for what to expect.

1. What complex of knowledge, skills or other attributes should be assessed?
2. What behaviors or performances should reveal those constructs?
3. What tasks or situations should elicit those behaviors?

Before I design a game, I will ask the following questions to make the course more direct for learning:

• What is your main reason for gamifying your course?
• What are your goals?
• What are the main benefits you expect to achieve?

What I have learned is that gaming can create a social community for peers to bond and relate to each other. I will implement this interaction by applying discussion boards for students to find a commonality that will unite them and generate learning. 

I have learned and plan to apply using games to help students be engaged in their learning and make decisions that will positively affect their learning outcomes.
