The Goal- Students are attempting to complete a training

program that will prepare them to lead our

The Final Challenge- Students will have at least two (maybe more in

development) choices after they complete

all work for the course

Section 3Course Scoring and Structure


10/29

Stages- I have divided this course into roughly 20 stages

- 5 Core

- 15 Elective

- A briefing mission will be played before and aftereach stages is complete (storyline)


11/29

Missions- Students will be given missions instead of

assignments- Each stage consists of 3-5 missions

- A secret mission will be given at the end of each

stage (relates to the website building)


12/29

Scoring Part 1- Money (points) will be rewarded after each stage

is complete

- Additional money will be given when certain

combinations of stages are finished (toencourage mastery in areas)


13/29

Scoring Part 2- Students will be given monetary rewards (called

Cabinet Appointments)as they completestage combinations

- Students can earn awards and money for otheractions and achievements in class

Section 4Rise to the Presidency and

My Learning Theory


16/29

Components of My Mash-up1. Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning

- Memory formed from audio/visual clues

2. Problem Based Learning

- Students learn from solving real-world problems

3. Humanism

- Students use education to fulfill potential in

holistic approach


17/29


18/29

Theory into Practice- The missions in Rise to the Presidencywill be

written as problems- Students will work to solve the problems and

memory/learning will be built as they

progress

- Feedback will come from myself and other

students throughout the process

Section 5Toys and Puzzles

Toy 1- Lottery Tickets: Students will get a lottery ticket

each time they complete a stageRise to the Presidency Lottery Ticket

their assignments into a website (like puttingpieces of a puzzle together to make one

product)

- Final Decision: the final decision will requirethem to use storyline hints when making

their final decision

Section 6Moving Forward With

This Process


24/29

Already Completed- Implemented the scoring structure in one class as

a trial (with admin. permission)

- 16 missions have been developed along with

some of the pre/post briefing videos

- Started building the Shadow Network website to

increase storyline interactions


25/29

Completing this Summer

- Design the rest of the course missions

- Develop online scoring access within the Shadow

Network website instead of current wall

charts


26/29

Questions and SurveyQuestions for the Audience and

Link to the Survey


27/29

1. Would it be better for students to use their

real name/pictures on the website or create

a fake character/bio/avatar?

2. Would it be best to do the game self-paced or

keep all students together to keep thestoryline from leaking out?
