Why using Genial.ly ?

• Librarians in our university are very concerned about innovative pedagogy and we were lucky to have a subscription to the paid version of Genial.ly.

• Some colleagues have used it for online visit of their library and an educational engineer from the university has created an escape game last September

• I was using Moodle and Wooclap quizz but I wanted to create new activities to engage students and change their mind towards library instruction : you’re not in a dusty library :)

• Because it's easy ! We have created with Gabrielle Regula (one of the facilitator of the workshop) a game in 2 hours for a CIVIS workshop

FOR 100 POINTS

Which game do you want to try ?

25 POINTS

"Open science wheel" & "Trivial library" (for PhD students)

"The bibliophile dragon" and "Monopo-Lis" (for undergraduate students)

"Eurekatrice" (for everyone)

"Open science wheel" and "Trivial library"

• Those games are used at the begining of the online sessions for PhD students during online sessions.

• I share the screen with them and students are playing together during 15 minutes.

• I use it as an introduction for the session and to evaluate their knowledge at the begining of the course.

• I have just adapted the template from a Genially quizz

"The bibliophile dragon" and "Monopo-Lis"

• Those games have been designed for undergraduate students in Science, and the games can last 45 minutes.

• "The bibliophile dragon" is an online escape game played by students after a live escape game in the library before Christmas. They are supposed to play alone and have complementary resources on Moodle to help them.

• "Monopo-Lis" have been used to make them know databases, and they play it by teams. I had to use a Wooclap quiz simultaneously because I wanted to time their answers.

"Eurekatrice"

• This is an online escape game version of a card game created with Gabrielle REGULA (one of the facilitator of this workshop). In Aix Marseille University, there is a Vice President for gender equality and fight against discrimination, and we have a strong support to develop educational games on this topic.

• We decided to make people discover great female inventors who have changed our everyday life.

• This 20 minutes game has also been completed with Kahoot quiz.

To conclude

• Positive feedbacks from the students : "It was great, the online game was a great way to introduce us to the library"

• Very easy to use and you can add useful tools (like a timer) with a free website

• After my sessions, I have decided to include Genial.ly in my one hour workshops. Students in science education were the most interested.

• You can't work simultaneously with a colleague on the same Genial.ly game.

• Some templates are free but not all of them !
