Gamify your Moodle

John Oakley - developer
Moodle HQ

The Balance

Games that are fun and educational - the balance
How games can teach
  Using technology for safety
   Drones
     Task - audience volunteers
      Landing a drone on a table

Gamifying Moodle - how to help teachers teach and learners learn?
 Testing
    Identified a popular game
    Using a game environment for a quiz
    The example was -- shooting enemies with a laser.
    Ask the question - the answer is shown in the form of the enemy

Gamification is not for everyone and certainly needs to be purposeful. Less about the action of being in the game and more about what is being assessed.

Challenges - what is the pedagogy and if you can identify this, how to integrate this into a gaming experience.

John is developing a plug-in.  It's intent is to be no different to how we currently do the settings for a quiz.  Name of plug-in is called QuizVenture and is currently available from Moodle Org.  Not yet available for Moodle Cloud, but on the horizon.
