Third-party on-site course

Gamify Your Classroom: Active Learning Tools for Teachers

Gamification is a learning technique that transfers the mechanics of games to the educational-professional environment to achieve better results, either to better absorb some knowledge, improve some skill, or reward specific actions, among many other objectives. Playing is associated with a waste of time, but students enjoy the dynamics and exercises, which favors the acquisition of knowledge.
