During my MA program, I had a peer that loved board games, and utilized gamification principles before I even knew that was a thing. Since then, I have taught any composition classes, and gamification has always stayed in the back of my mind. I don't think that boss battles or badges are the way to go for composition classrooms, but I am very interested in Guild work. I think forcing students into a mini team, from the start of class, will help them reach out and support their peers more, along with holding each other accountable. 

I believe that introductions in online courses are very important for establishing a good tone, an instructor presence, and rapport with students. I had not considered it as an aspect of authority. 

What I took away from this section on Course Delivery is that I need to become comfortable with the methods and expectations of my institution and students before I can/should make any revisions. 

a good reminder of what learners, especially first-time students, are looking for on the first day/syllabus day.

A good reminder to reflect and re-evaluate going into every new classroom.
