Beyond the Lecture: Gamification and Active Learning

IAFA Teaching and Learning Day 2025

This keynote by Prof. dr. Patricia Everaert aims to showcase practical examples of infusing lectures with active learning methods. Drawing from our the teaching experiences, Patricia will share real-life examples and provide actionable tips and tricks for implementation in your classrooms, adding elements of gamification.  Examples are funny games, interactive quizzes like Bingo or Connect-4.  In addition, DUGA CASTARS is shown, developed by the Accounting Education Research Group at Ghent University.  This app is designed for reviewing material anytime, anywhere. Participants will have the opportunity to experience this web-app firsthand on their smartphone or pc, gaining insights into its effectiveness based on our empirical research.  Applications will be shown for courses such as financial accounting, managerial accounting or taxation, ready to implement in your teaching.
