This paper describes an experiential, simulation-based learning activity designed to encourage graduate education students' development of empathy for and awareness of diverse student populations. In order to allow students to take the "role of the other," they were placed into different situations where they had to complete a simple…

This article presents two similar design cases and a discussion of how like values resulted in dissimilar design moves. Both cases were gamified learning activities for graduate students in instructional design. Both interventions employed rapid prototyping and were delivered synchronously in an at-a-distance setting. This article compares the two…

Although online course design is no longer new, few design cases describe the development of entire courses based on principles of student-centered learning design. This design case chronicles the context, design challenges, and successes and failures of a graduate course on Technology & Inquiry-based Instructional Methods for an online…

This design case includes the challenges, considerations, and decisions associated with the design, development, and delivery of a master's level educational technology course on teaching and learning with games and simulations. A master's level course, Digital Games and Simulations in the Classroom, faced redesign in order to add a gamification…
