Hi there,
Not sure where to post this, (Mods feel free to move if needed) but earlier today I was on a call and things like digital escape rooms, gamification, learn through story, and branching scenarios came up.
I remembered there were articles about those things like that on here and shared them out. Here's one -
The Instructional Design Best Practices Group’s Escape Room For Gamified Learning - Brightspace
I think I received that article and similar ones in email from D2L in the past, that would have been the only reason I knew about them.
I realized after the call that I haven't received any emails about articles like this in a very long time.
Is there an account setting on here I can go to so I can ensure I receive emails about articles like these or D2L Academy offerings about things like this, Creator+, and H5P? Or aren't those sent out anymore?
And I'd love to know how people are using things like game-based learning/gamification, branching scenarios, and interactive video in their courses. Those are the future.
Thank You

Chris,
Thank you. That seemed to work. Any other articles on here about gamification/game-based learning, branching scenarios, or interactive video I may have missed?
ThanksKevin

Hi @Kevin.H.200,
Thanks for contacting the Brightspace Community! Some articles on Community around gamification/game-based learning we can share are:
You linked to a great gamification article, but yes you are correct we haven't shared a new one in a while! Since we know there's an interest, we can work to get a refreshed/new gamification content this year :)
For updates such as D2L Academy, Creator+ or H5P, you can bookmark these threads for updates (as Chris shared above) or join these groups who share new content on monthly basis!
