Level-up Learning: How School Could Be a Better Game | Caitlin Holman | TEDxUofM

How can we make school more engaging? Treat it like a game. Caitlin Holman has co-created a learning platform, GradeCraft, that reflects patterns seen in video games, and can possibly help improve an increasingly outdated education system.

Caitlin Holman is a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her work focuses on the use of technology to support educational outcomes.

Holman is the co-founder GradeCraft, a gameful learning platform designed to increase student engagement. GradeCraft has been used by more than 4,500 students across 50+ University courses and was recently awarded a multi-million dollar grant from the Third Century Fund to make gameful learning available for all students at the University of Michigan and beyond.
