How do you ensure participants return on time after breaks? If you've ever struggled with late arrivals disrupting your sessions, you're not alone. Fortunately, with the right strategies, you can establish a punctuality culture without resorting to rigid enforcement. Previously, we discussed whether classes should start
许多人在准备简报时,一开始常常遇到巨大的 GAP,也就是不知道从何开始,或是内容与观众的期待有落差。而缩小落差的方法,用的也是 G.A.P. 方法!也就是先问自己:简报的目的是什么(Goal)?目标观众是谁(Audience)?我希望达成什么样的目标(Purpose)?透过这三个问题,你就可以找到一个明确的方向,开始准备你的简报。并且在过程中持续聚焦,让简报有更好的成效。接下来让我们依序来看看这三个问题的重要性。(也可以看看福哥的线上课:简报的技术,有更多的画面与实例哦) G:找出简报的目的(Goal) 在正式开始制作简报之前,我们要先问自己:"这场简报的目的是什么?"以我先前受邀在104人力银行的活动演讲为例,主题是"人生下半场,用学习改变人生"。虽然我马上就答应了这个邀约(毕竟主办人Will是我的好朋友),但一开始我也不确定该讲些什么内容。这时候,我仔细看了整场活动的规划和其他讲者的主题,发现我的任务是跟大家分享:如何透过学习来突破瓶颈。所以,简报的目的应该是透过我的故事和经验,

教学游戏化的三要素:积分 Points、奖励 Benefit、排行榜 Leader Board,我们先前已经讲完怎么样规划积分机制(Points),透过计分的方法给小组鼓励,在每一个过程做不同的差异计分,最后跟奖励机制(Benefit)连结,塑造一个让学员投入课程的理由。教学游戏化的最后一篇,我们来谈谈游戏化的最后一个要素,也就是 Leader Board:排行榜! 排行榜在一般的游戏中经常可见,从过去的单机游戏,在每次打完电动后,就会出现你的成绩跟别人之前的成绩相比,落在什么名次?有的游戏还会让你打入自己的名字(还记得很久以前用摇杆及按键输入自己的英文代号吗?)。而进入线上游戏时代,排行榜更是随处可见,甚至像 Nike+ 的游戏化应用,把排行榜与慢跑里程结合起来,我们经常可以看到身边的朋友,一段时间就在 PK 彼此在 Nike+ 的慢跑里程排名。在这个例子中,慢跑的里程,有点像上课累积的积分,只反应了过程中努力的成果。而这个成果与别人相比时,相对值如何?这就是排行榜的目的了! 千万不要以为排行榜就只是统计一下分数,把总分跟排名公布而已!

In my previous explanation of gamifying teaching through competition rules, I used my typical one-day teaching version in a listed company as an example. However, when it comes to a whole semester course spanning 18 weeks in a school setting, how should it be approached? In fact, the pace of

Upon seeing the words in the title, such as "gamification in teaching," "game-based learning," and "educational game software"… I'm not here to play tongue twisters or games with everyone. In the following article, I will clarify these terms. The reason I want

The day before my presentation, I had nearly finalized my content. After a video meeting with my research partner Yafang—who had also taken the Professional Presentation Skills course—I did a one-on-one practice run. The result? 9 minutes and 40 seconds... Yafang said, "Don't worry, Dr.

Many teachers, when learning teaching techniques, encounter their first obstacle: "It's useless! They don't participate in the teaching activities I design!" "Whenever I ask the students anything, they don't move and just silently watch me." "Group discussions? They don&

The three essential elements of gamified teaching are: Points, Benefits, and Leader Boards. We have already discussed how to plan the points mechanism, encouraging teams through scoring and differentiating scores throughout the process, and linking it to the reward system. In this final article on gamified teaching, let's

上一篇谈到:教学游戏化的三个核心——积分(Points)、奖励(Benefit)、排行榜(Leader board),简称为 PBL。其实在另外一个应用在教学中的 PBL,叫 Problem Base Learning(以问题为基础的学习),也经常被教学相关的研究提到,大量应用在个案教学、商管、医学等相关教育中。所以 PBL 真是很不错的缩写啊! 上次谈了 P——也就是积分(Points)的规划方式,包含分数的计算及操作的细节,我们接着来说 B——也就是奖励(Benefit)及 L——排行榜(Leader board)的操作。 Benefit — 奖励机制 原始游戏化的一些研究中,B 指的是 Badge,也就是徽章的意思。这是因为早期的游戏化应用如 FourSquare

Let's start with a guessing game: Over the past two years, nearly 40 teachers who have implemented gamification in their classrooms participated in research interviews with me. Spanning across different teaching topics and student demographics, they unanimously agreed that the most important aspect of gamification in teaching is
