<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have to go with what Terrence Stone said about the pre and post-test assessment of the efficacy of gamification in the course.&nbsp; I have been involved in online education since 1999 and as technology advanced always believed gamification was a great way to make the learning experience unique and engaging.&nbsp; The days of reading static PDFs and answering discussion questions are behind us and are obsolete in my opinion.&nbsp; My dissertation utilized a pre and post-test design to measure the effect of a learning intervention and I believe it would work well in this application as well.&nbsp; The stealth assessment is also beneficial to obtain quality data on how the game is influencing the learning environment.&nbsp; If course, we need to be careful about how this data is utilized and it may require going through the school&rsquo;s IRB if it is to be used for publication and research.</p>
