Instructional Design & Delivery practices gamification by playing Dungeons & Dragons in the first EVER “ID&D” series video podcast April 03, 2023 Instructional Design & Delivery strives to incorporate gamification into course building practices when collaborating with faculty and academic departments in building all courses, content, and online programs. In order to truly achieve this, we felt that all current and new IDD staff needed to be provided with opportunities for real game-play experience that they may then translate into their course building projects. This idea became the ID&D podcast series! This is a vlog featuring the IDD team, playing Dungeons & Dragons as a group (as characters that they created themselves!), and then translating their experience during each session into real-life course building ideas and pedagogical practice for the online classroom. Enjoy!
