| Abstract: | How do you respond as an educator to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic when your practical classes are cancelled and you can only meet them online? A game may not be the first thing that comes to mind, compared to the traditional online meeting, online forum, and using a Virtual Learning Environment. ITS lecturer Richard Pons came up with the idea of creating an educational game based on rummy to train his students in the recall of cocktail ingredients and recipes. Within a few weeks of brainstorming, development and testing, the game Bevicuious rummy was born and made available as an app for Android. [excerpt] |
