Game On! Exploring Game-based Learning in Anatomy Education
Speaker: Mikaela Stiver, PhD, McGill University
Game-based learning (GBL) is an emergent area of inquiry in medical education and anatomy education alike with evidence of positive impact on students' learning experiences. In this first of a three-part webinar series on GBL, we will establish a common language for the field, discuss several theories that inform GBL, and address some of the strengths and challenges. Learning is not 'easy', but why not make it fun?

Get your game on! Developing game-based learning for student engagement
Speakers: Mikaela Stiver, PhD, McGill University; Caitlin Sachsenmeier, MS, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine; Carrie Elzie, PhD, MA, University of Texas Health San Antonio
With an understanding of the concepts of game-based learning (GBL) from the first webinar, the next question is how one can design, develop, and deploy a game approach in their own teaching practice? This will be explored in the second of a three-part AAA webinar, where will introduce the various techniques in designing and developing a game. All participants, from novices to experts, are welcome as they will have opportunities to generate game ideas and discuss them with their academic peers.

Following the two previous AAA webinars discussing game-based learning (GBL), this third and final webinar of the three-part series will now dive into the process of evaluating the impact of GBL with elements of curricular analysis, student opinions and reception, as well as how this relates to educational research. Participants will also have opportunities to share their GBL approaches and obtain feedback from academic peers.
