Research on post/pandemic instruction and reflections on student attitudes toward remote learning reveal a desire for continued flexible learning opportunities. However, there’s also a call for social interaction and connection. In pursuit of this, we turn to gamified instruction, particularly during one/shot sessions, to create space for connection at a time when it is desperately needed. Appropriate for the topic, session participants will engage in a gamified instructional experience in order to learn about pedagogical gaming theories. Participants will eventually identify an existing instructional need, craft assessable learning outcomes, and create a gamified learning tool using free software.
