Gamification and game-based learning is designed to increase learner motivation and engagement and has been facilitated with an increasing number of accessible tools and methods. In this session, participants will learn how librarians from school, public, special, or academic libraries are incorporating gamification and game-based learning into instruction in the classroom, in programming, and in outreach activities.

    Traditionally, this session is a panel that includes three presentations from librarians representing school, public, special, or academic libraries. Each presentation should last approximately 15 minutes.
