CDAG’s Research, Innovation, and Scholarship (RIS) Committee is pleased to announce that Dr. Christine Boyko-Head, a CDAG member from Mohawk College, is the successful recipient of the 2021-22 call for proposals to the RIS Fund.
Dr. Boyko-Head’s project, 3D-Briefing: A Learning Game, involves gamifying and disseminating 3D-Briefing, and builds on her previous study which found 3D-Briefing to be an accessible, reliable, learner-centred framework for empathetic communication, ethical creative-critical thinking, and equitable team collaborations. Dr. Boyko-Head has found that 3D-Briefing motivates and engages learners in core competencies in a manner that is relevant to them, accessible to diverse learners, brings joy to the learning experience, and is transferable to diverse learning scenarios and contexts. The gamification of 3D-Briefing will assist educators in building engagement through interactivity, especially in online forums.
Dr. Boyko-Head will use the CDAG RIS funding to develop a prototype for gamifying 3D-Briefing, allowing for the scaling up of its dissemination across diverse disciplines, ages, learning abilities and delivery platforms. The development of the prototype will open the door to future research on the impact of 3D-Briefing across the curriculum.
Congratulations, Christine! The CDAG community looks forward to learning more about the gamification of 3D-Briefing, and how its accessibility, functionality, and reliability will support culturally, linguistically, and academically diverse learners.
