Learning2gether meets Moodle MOOC 7, EVO, and gamification in TPD
This presentation discusses using gamification approaches in teacher professional development (TPD) through communities like Learning2gether, Moodle MOOCs, and Electronic Village Online (EVO). It provides examples of how EVO has utilized cMOOCs through activities like the Webheads in Action community and the EVO Minecraft MOOC. The presentation argues that gamification in TPD can be modeled using Minecraft to foster creativity, collaboration, and survival skills through play. It introduces the team for the 2016 EVO Minecraft MOOC and invites participants to join from January to February 2016.
