Create a Course Assignment with Games-Based Learning

If you are interested in trying out games-based learning in a course, join us on Wednesday at 1pm for a workshop with Amber Sewell, Teaching & Learning Librarian from UNLV Libraries. You will learn about the process of using games-based learning to create or revise a course assignment, and discuss different game elements and how they can enhance an assignment or activity. (You might also get to play a game or two.) This workshop will most benefit instructors with an assignment in mind, although all interested in games and assignment design are welcome.

Wednesday, March 29, 1-2:30pm, BEH 240. Please RSVP!

Join us for Faculty Club: Mondays and Thursdays 11am-1pm

On Mondays and Thursdays through spring semester, join us for Faculty Club in the Faculty Lounge (BEH 235).

Bring your lunch, connect with colleagues, and take a few moments to chat and relax.

See you soon!
