1. The Benefits of a Gameful Approach to
Course Design
Dr. Becky Sue Parton
What makes games so appealing to play? Those same concepts can be
integrated into the design of your online course to promote personal planning,
healthy competition, & Christian character development! It is not about
creating or using an actual game – it is about applying principles from the field
of gaming. We will look at a course & discuss lessons learned.

What is Gameful Learning?
Gameful learning is a pedagogical
approach that takes inspiration from how
good games function, and applies that to
the design of learning environments.
Gameful design operates in a self-
deterministic framework–we want to
apply what self-determination theory says
about how intrinsic motivation works to
build motivating classroom experiences.
