Have you ever taught a mandatory continuing education course on a Friday evening (6:30-9:30 p.m.) in the middle of the post-pandemic era when mask wearing was still in effect? In the fall of 2021, as I was confronted with this scenario, a question came to mind: how to keep students engaged in such a context?

The answer: gamification. This webinar will outline the strategies used to transform this motivational challenge into a gamified learning experience. From bingo, crosswords, an escape game and a post-it game to games like Who Am I?, Jeopardy, and TimeLine, you'll discover how these gamification tools can energize teaching and promote learning. The good thing is that they're also easy to implement, and don't require extensive use of class time, an excessive workload, nor advanced digital skills.
