Gamification in Higher Education | Christopher See | TEDxCUHK

Christopher is sharing his idea behind one of his innovative education project: Escape Room feat. Medical Examination!
What were the myths people usually confuse with playing games in learning? Chris is going to tell us the answer
Dr. Christopher See took his medical degree at Trinity College, Cambridge University, and worked as a junior doctor in several UK hospitals. He completed a PGCE in clinical education with the University of Edinburgh and went on to take a teaching post at Manchester University Medical School, where he received the Excellent Teacher Award for the Faculty in 2012.
He is currently completing his PhD research in the application of e-learning and game-based learning in medical training at the University of Hong Kong. He has published in peer-reviewed publications include the journal Rheumatology and the Imperial College Press, as well as 7 book titles with publisher Kogan Page.
He is a keen science communicator, winning the science presenting competition Famelab in 2013 and hosting public lectures at the HK Science Museum and Café Scientifique. Oh, and he really loves games. You’ll see.

This is a very interesting idea. Manipulating the design sequence and structure of an existing game format, but populating it with educational content. As the speaker mentioned, though, the key is to find a good existing game.

[@RomanRackwitz]

Perfect. Personal performance in a game is the opposite of being easy. Finally, someone who has the same approach as I do : -) Great.

Great talk! I'm currently designing gamified lessons for an English course and your talk certainly helped! Thanks Chris!

[@XavierPradheepSingh]

Hi, I'm also working on gamification in English Language courses. I'll be glad to collaborate with you in future.

[@comiturhan]

@@XavierPradheepSingh Hi Mr. Singh. That sounds like a good idea, maybe someday we can also write scientific paper together. :D

[@XavierPradheepSingh]

@@comiturhan Sure

[@preenan5123]

Haha I am interested in gamifying English lessons to! Would love to collab for sure. Can you share your progresses /situation?

[@ConsiderItHealth]

Fantastic talk. Am working on a game to teach nutrition and you gave some very helpful points!

[@barristars5328]

Very realistic and practical. Loved the talk

[@mengmengmeng88]

Loved it! Great idea, great talk and hope it works!

[@abdullahfarich2771]

thanks for your sharing... always improve innovative education...

[@KazysBinkis]

what is difrence of gamification and game-based systems?

[@HiImPete]

Loved your talk mate!

[@dr.mohamedtaha1362]

Hey I want help, I Hustkhaddmh in his doctoral thesis, I want to know what sites are designed in e-learning

[@alonzoramireziii]

I'll never forget the Cantonese word for wife is "lowpaw". He just shifted my understanding of gamification......

[@australianenglishwithjason9518]

Gamification is given a bad name by boring games. There are plenty of websites where you can download a ludo-style game where there's a question on each square and teachers give their students this downloaded page and a dice and some counters and congratulate themselves that they've engaged the students. Well, I don't know about medicine but there are in English as a second language. The day after I taught dialogues about asking for directions, I sent the students on a scavenger hunt to find less well-known spots in the city. They had to take photos of them and answer questions they could only learn by being there. I agree that it's hard work and to set up and it's hard work for the students but you learn best when you don't know that you're learning. In my favourite lesson, the students made up the game themselves. Before the class, I left ping pong balls, rubber balls, giant dice, sticks, skittles etc lying around the room. I ignored them completely for 2/3 of the lesson but the students knew that they were there. The target language was words for giving instructions and suggestions. The context for presenting them was the rules of cricket. The assessment was that groups of two or three had to invent a game using what they could find in the room and teach the rest of the class the rules.

[@theartisticsoul120]

Can you share those websites?

[@TomMasonHomes]

Should have explained the first puzzle. Audience clearly still didn't get it.

[@prestopasta259]

This is really interesting

[@johng5295]

Awesome.

[@gamifiedlife7958]

YES.

[@mattiaminetta2504]

[@emin948]

Why does this guy have so little views

[@mazisilas7974]

lol if you wanna know how effective this sort of learning is, check if you still remember the Korean word for bear lol

[@skewbacow]

lol if you wanna know if someone lives in the west, ask them if Cantonese is the same as Korean. P.S. Cantonese is a chinese "dialect" (more extreme, more like a second type of chinese other than mandarin, but we're nitpicking) Peace bro, thanks for the giggle, and it's the word for wife

[@TomMasonHomes]

....Or the Cantonese word for wife.
