Description

This poster offers educators an overview of designing a syllabus on the Canvas learning management system that supports personalised learning pathways. It highlights (1) a gamified pedagogy grounded in gaming principles and (2) adaptive learning strategies using MasteryPaths.

Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

While the poster presents research in progress, a QR code links to a video demonstrating the implementation of the gamified approach on Canvas. The approach follows the gaming principles of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, with the video shown from a student perspective. The video highlights approaches that educators can embed within their practice to increase student engagement and learning satisfaction.
