Gamification and BYOD

Keywords: gaming, gamification, BYOD
Abstract
BYOD is steadily recognized trend in K12 and higher education. Gamification becomes also increasingly popular. We apply an existing experiment as a proof of concept (POC): web.stcloudstate.edu/pmiltenoff/bi/ Started as gamified library instruction for mobile devices, we tested the templates in educational leadership classes. Gamiftying certain parts of the learning process, e.g. using training quizzes in a Learning Management System (LMS) is not a novel idea. Even the mobile version of LMS, however, does not provide the nimble interface of the mobile template we are using. Gemifying task[s] performed on mobile devices (BYOD) is an attempt to advance to the next level and seek change in the conceptual thinking: instead of migrating old methodology to new environment and adapting old tasks to new tools, how do we change our didactic as instructors and following constructivism, we seek delivering dynamic, student-centered, anytime-anywhere assignments to students.
