#Learning2gether Episode 303 takes place this week in conjunction with #MM7 Moodle MOOC 7.

#Learning2gether Episode 303 takes place this week in conjunction with #MM7 Moodle MOOC 7. Vance Stevens has been presenting lately on gamification in teacher professional development in the context of EVO Minecraft MOOC. Today's talk expands the context to the 16th iteration of Electronic Village Online #evosessions, currently in preparation, and its varying approaches to TPD. #EVOMC16 takes an approach which appeals to its moderators, which is to learn about #gamification through experiential play. Vance will talk about how this works in EVO Minecraft MOOC, and how anyone of a similar bent is welcome to join us in January, 2016.

When? 1500 GMT ... Where? WizIQ:

Latest dispatches from Bronwyn Stuckey, one of our #evomc16  co-moderators this year. This post is like a falling leaf to a multi-hued forest floor in autumn as 2016 EVO Minecraft MOOC starts layering its new skin onto the old one :-) Fellow co-moderators, please add more!
