Scholarship Seminar - Transforming Learning and Assessment through Didactic Games in Calculus Classroom

Dates

Thursday, December 15, 2022 - 13:15 to 14:00

Speaker: Ivan Sudakow (The Open University)

Abstract: 

Didactic games can be a useful tool that, when coupled with traditional lectures, allows the student to become immersed in the subject, creating a kinetic and energetic environment that will not only help to learn but spark interest in the subject as a whole. However, there are two problems that will be considered in this talk: 1. What are the most effective games and their assessment methods that could be incorporated into the Calculus classroom? 2. How to develop an online interactive game designed to teach the tenets of calculus through story-telling, problem-solving, and self-motivation which can expand a set of existing didactic games?
