Don’t Miss the Next Conversations @ STEM, Nov. 2

This week during Conversations @ STEM, we’ll be talking about Gamifying Your Classroom. It’s a fun and engaging topic, which can also be pretty daunting! Fortunately, we have an expert on the subject. Connie Barber, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Computer Management and Information Systems, will be leading our discussion.

Come with your ideas and questions. If you would like some background material, please email Colin Wilson at colwils@siue.edu for a few helpful articles.

This is a different time than normal, so maybe it fits your schedule where others haven't! If there's a time you'd like us to try in the future, email Colin Wilson to suggest.
