After Enrollment…
Once enrolled in the course you’ll have an opportunity to:
-
- create GamEDX quests and quizzes
- play games created by fellow enrollees
- receive personalized feedback
Every quest will include a chart like the one below describing the motivation strategies used. For example, this GamEDX quest modeled “grit-orientation” because you had an Answer Key safety net and unlimited opportunities to persevere if you experienced setbacks during the EscapEDX Room activity.
