Gamification in Higher Education

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Oct. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Humanatomy is a game based system to teach human anatomy. Anatomy teacher and Humanatomy Creator Paula Jaspar RMT says that since her early tests in 2000 she has seen a benefit to “gamification” with her students.

She notes that “everyone has a different way of retaining information. We know that mnemonics can be a powerful tool. Gamified learning can be just as powerful in my eyes.” Humanatomy began as a laminated teaching tool for her students has transformed over the past few years to an iPad app. Students can interact with the content and keep score during the learning process. The app notes where the student needs to improve and focusses on those lessons.

Currently the app is in being funded with the help of the crowd funding platform KickStarter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rP8rH8FPnU



Paula is busy promoting a 30 day campaign to raise the final capital. As Kickstarter funding reaches $5000 it looks like success is in sight! The campaign dealine is November 28th, 2014.
