Flipping the Classroom and Increasing Engagement with BadgeOS

Learn how we transformed course content into a digital achievement-based LMS where students earned badge recognition for meeting proficiencies with a “gradebook” set to only “met” or “resubmit.” A high school Biology Unit and a 5th/6th grade Ancient Greece Unit were transformed using Wordpress and BadgeOS to create social, competitive learning communities.
