I have recently fallen in love with the #roguelike and #roguelite genres of #videogames.
I’m especially interested in their powerful effects on #motivation, inspiring players to try-fail-try again-succeed, which is the holy grail for #instructionaldesign and #teaching more broadly.
I’d love to hear from #gamedevs and other #learningdesign pros who have explored integrating #rogueish mechanics in #learning, #seriousgames, and/or know of any #psychology #research connecting the two. Thanks!
Take the pressure off of yourself to facilitate or teach, and instead create situations that allow learning to occur.

Oh hey, #PortfolioDay is a thing here?
Dang, y'all are doing some great stuff.
Hi, I'm Vic :)
Doing #LearningDesign (or #InstructionalDesign if you prefer) for #LifelongLearning. Also doing digital production for #EdTech . Also also, #Translation - recently, it's mainly #scifi and video game related projects.
Fully booked until mid 2025, but happy to chat any time. Contact details are on page.
Realising I never added an #introduction so here goes nothing...
I'm Tim, live in #Adelaide amongst the trees, birds and koalas. I work in #HigherEd and am passionate about #LearningDesign and creating great learning experiences. I fuse a background in graphic design with web development, #UX practices, working with technology, learning and teaching and implementing innovation. I build stuff with #11ty and dabble in dark magic via #CSS.
You can catch me blogging on https://heartsoulmachine.com/
Moving to a new server, so it's another excuse for an #introduction .
Hello, schwmae, I'm Vic 
He/his, Polish/Silesian/British/Welsh (in order of appearance).
I work with #LifelongLearning & #LearningDesign at the Open University, so am always keen to meet & talk #EdTEch
I relax with #cycling #running #jazz & #photography
If you're in South Wales, give me a hallo - always a joy to meet (also into #SnailMail #PenPals )
Expect mix of writing, photos, sh*tposts & bants.
Good to be back.
This weekend I spent a lot of time pondering if the idea of a practical introductory course for #LearningDesign would have enough broad appeal to make it worth my while developing.
My pitch is that learning is how we adapt to change. If we want people to change to our world, then it’s through learning - and that’s in all fields and contexts, not just in an education system. Therefore the ability to design learning is going to be a super power for the future.
Thoughts?
Excited to announce that I have completed the Harvard Extension School Graduate Certificate in Learning Design and Technology! As part of my Applied Learning Design class, I created a final project called "You Can Knit!" Check it out at https://www.angelacarey.com/ Thanks, Harvard Extension School! #HarvardExtensionSchool #LearningDesign #Technology #GraduateCertificate #knitting @fiberarts @knitting
We're putting the finishing touches on this 4-week EDUCAUSE Learning Lab, and I'm getting more excited by the day. Registration is open and we begin April 3rd.
Designing Inclusive and Equitable Learning Environments

For my #InstructionalDesign Tuesday post, I am sharing the University of Illinois-Springfield Online Instructional Activities Index.
The index lists dozens of activity types with explanations and examples. It's great for finding new ideas for student engagement!
Terrible at #introductions
I’m into #edTech #accessibility and #learningDesign. I’m also a #communityBuilder and #facilitator at a #neurodiversity affirming practice in Canada.
I #boost from all over the #fediverse and I’m looking for smaller instances and real people. If I’ve followed you it’s because I want to see more.

#Introduction
Now that I've been tinkering for a few weeks it's time for a second intro.
I live on the edge of the CBD of #Melbournre. I love #yoga so would love to see some #MovementCulture or #BodyWeight posts.
If I'm not contorting my body, I'm out enjoying my city. We've a vibrant fun and diverse #gay community here in Melbourne.
For employment, my partner and i have a small #LearningDesign business. My work passions are #education, #DigitalPedagogy and creating vibrant cultures of learning. I am intrigued by the #design of #LearningSpaces and sometime help #teachers transition into new learning spaces.
Here's my #introduction
An #educator living in #Melbourne, #Australia
A #science #secondaryteacher now doing #learningdesign.
I am interested in #pedagogy and how people #learn. I love talking about theories of learning and how they can help guide #design of #learning
Here's a starting list:
#constructivism #edtech #learningbydesign #learningdesign #digitalcitizenship #science #designthinking #epistemology #digitalliteracies #queer #LGBT #joy
