ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS & THANKS
We would like to thank everyone at the University of Michigan and, specifically, the Office of Academic Innovation (AI) who worked with us to provide intellectual and financial support for this work. This work has been generously supported by the Office of the Provost at the University of Michigan through the Third Century Fund, the Learning Analytics Task Force, and the Academic Innovation Fund. We thank Microsoft for financial support for this MOOC and for organizing this series of courses focused on transformative change in education.
We particularly want to acknowledge the immense contributions of the team at Michigan who conceived gameful learning pedagogy and brought the GradeCraft platform to life, especially Caitlin Holman, the co-inventor and project lead on GradeCraft. The efforts of all these people help instructors around the world to “go gameful.”
