Course Description
Everybody loves to play games: they are engaging, immersive and fun. Thus, can we make our educational activities just as exciting and rewarding? This is “gamification”, that is, the inclusion of elements of game-design in other areas or activities. Research and observation suggest that gamification provides tremendous benefits when used appropriately. Hence, learning about it, and how to integrate games effectively in an educational framework, is a powerful asset in the curriculum of any professional in the fields of education and communication.
This course will teach you how to make educational activities more effective through the use of games and gamification. It will cover topics like traditional games, role-playing games (RPGs), tabletop games, LEGO, digital and videogames. There will be a specific focus on social and educational games. It will introduce participants to concepts and models of game design, providing them with the full experience of designing a game (phases of concept, design, prototype, playtest). As the game design is a complex activity, it will draw from engineering, informatics, psychology, sociology, history, anthropology, communication science, arts and more to make teachers feel at ease while creating their first game.
The course will have a very hands-on approach, combining elements of the theory, group work and discussion with experiential phases in which participants will have an opportunity to design their own games and learn from direct experience. As a participant, you will also be introduced to the concept and practice of gamification, and receive easy-to-apply tips to include elements of game design in your professional and daily life.

It's was an interesting experience and I'm truly satisfied with the contents of the course and the way of transmitting them. I've learned how to use educational applications (stop motion studio, quizlet, nearpod...), that are new for me and I'm already using them in my daily life. The teacher knew how to dynamize the classes so that they were practical and enjoyable. About the course providers, we always was helped when we needed information or any other request.

I am really satisfied with the course " Game-Based Learning and Gamification in the Classroom" that I did with Riccardo Manni at Firenze. We learn many strategies, webs and apps very useful, as Plickers, Padlet, Quizlet, Nearpod, Stop motion and Goosechase. The methodology was very practical and Riccardo made it very enjoyable.

The experience was satisfactory. The course was focused on teaching different subjects through games. In my opinion, the course was fine but it should have been better organized with regard to timetables. We had class some days in the morning and some in the afternoon but it's just a personal opinion.

Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora a todos los niveles, tanto personal como educativamente hablando. Desde la organización ha estado bien preparado y han colaborado en todo aquello que hemos necesitado, asistiéndonos a lo largo de todo el proceso, primero en las semanas previas al inicio de la formación y más adelante durante la misma. El lugar de celebración del curso era igualmente muy interesante, en el centro de la ciudad de Florencia, con lo cual hemos estado en contacto diario con el arte y la historia, que a su vez ha servido como marco incomparable de algunas de las actividades realizadas. El profesor del curso, Ricardo Manni, tiene una óptima formación en la temática propuesta y ha sabido implicarnos en cada una de las herramientas utilizadas, facilitándonos asimismo toda la ayuda requerida para avanzar durante la misma. El listado de aplicaciones de gamificación ha sido muy variado, con lo que hemos visto un amplio abanico de las mismas, aplicables a múltiples materias, lo cual es de maximo interés para poderlo llevar a la práctica en nuestro centro. Además la actividad realizada y las programadas en tiempo de ocio para conocer el entorno han sido del máximo interés y nos han permitido relacionarnos con participantes de otras nacionalidades y experiencias educativas, lo que ha resultado muy enriquecedor.

Ha sido una experiencia gratificante desde el punto de vista educativo y profesional, además de una forma de relacionarnos con otros docentes europeos. La organización y desarrollo del curso me han parecido excelentes, y el profesor Riccardo Manni muy cercano, además de ser un profesional con una gran formación y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las aplicaciones aprendidas en el curso sobre gamificación, han supuesto una nueva forma de ver la educación, además de mejorar el trato con el alumnado al utilizar herramientas cercanas a ellos y posibilitar su aprendizaje a través del juego. El marco utilizado para el curso, en una ciudad incomparable como Florencia, posibilitó que se pudieran realizar actividades relacionadas con arte, historia, ediciones de video, scape rooms, etc... moviéndonos en una ciudad única. La posibilidad de interactuar con otros participantes de cursos en esas fechas durante una actividad en común el último día, me pareció un acierto. Por último, destacar la organización y disponibilidad del personal del curso, siempre atento a cualquier duda o problema que pudiera surgir. Recomendaría esta experiencia a cualquier docente.
