THE RESULTS

Human Geography is a high enrollment course and most of the undergraduate student population was comprised of non-majors with little experience in geography. 

Pokémon-style cards were designed to add a gamification element to the course and increase student engagement with the course materials and activities.

The geography cards detailed the skills and knowledge that students acquired in each course unit. The cards also provided feedback and showed student progression throughout the course.

Six main geography cards were designed, and each card was awarded after completing a course unit (comprised of 2-3 modules). In each unit, students participated in assessments, assignments, and a photo discussion to earn the card.
