Lead by Jon Richardson, C.J. Morrison both from D2L
Game for more interaction, motivation, differentiated instruction
Leaderboards have to be built by individual campus. Beware of FERPA
Would have to contract D2L (someone to design someone to code) to do the gamification/gaming for learning.
Sounds like this is a promotional session only. Unfortunate. Hate choosing the wrong sessions.
