Play, Game ve Gamification için harika bir giriş. Ayrıca son derste eğitsel masa üstü oyun tasarlama adımları verilmiş. İçeriğinizi belirledikten sonra oyununuzu tasarlayıp sınıfınızda uygulayabilirsiniz.

This course was very informative. The only down part of this training is the exercice part because I have been peer reviewing some exercices which were a year old. It's a long time to get a review of your work....

In the course description it is said that the 'course is designed for anyone who wants to design an educational game'. I was looking for information to design an educational game für adults, but up to now there is only talk about games made by teachers for the children in school. This might be a little misleading. But I will see what comes next in the course and if it still could be useful for my purposes.

I was so engaged in the whole course that I totally believe it deserved the rating. Carefully structured covering all levels of students, in-depth discussion of the main features of the topic, enough practical ideas and motivating to the students that want to try something creative. Great!

Bir öğretmen adayı olarak oyunlar kazanımların önüne geçmediği sürece eğlenerek öğrenmeyi destekliyorum. Yavuz Samur bu konuyu çok güzel ve etkili bir biçimde ele alıyor. Kendisinden farklı bakış açıları ve farklı bilgiler öğreniyorum.

I wanted to know more about how games can be employed in teaching. Till now I have just come to know that all the stakeholders should be game friendly, nothing about which games to play, what kind of games can be created and how to use them while teaching keeping in mind the syllabus and the time constraint.

The introductory sections were a bit too elaborative. Some of the questions were repetitive. Discussion/comment section were mostly quiet, but that's probably because this wasnt a newly published course.

Kursu çok beğendim ve birçok farklı fikir ve oyun öğrendim. Sadece brainstorming kısmı da açık olsaydı daha motive edici olabilirdi diye düşünüyorum.
