The course deals with current geopolitical events such as globalization, exchange rates, tariffs, and trade balances. Read Jim Laurie's report on this project.As part of the analysis phase of the hybrid course design, the concept of an instructional game related to exchange rates was conceived. This project evolved into two phases.Phase 1: Development of Hybrid IB303Laurie worked with instructional designer Amy Roche to:evaluate video resources and integrate into LMSdevelop questions for online discussion forums which solicited critical thinkingdevelop online quizzes which required independent researchPhase 2: Design and Development of an Interactive Instructional GameThe interactive online instructional game, "International Exchange," focuses on learning objectives related to fluctuations in exchange rate, tariffs, and consumer demand. Instructor Jim Laurie worked with Instructional Multimedia Specialist Mary Ann Mengel to design and develop the game. The game was developed in Adobe Flash with ActionScript.The game is designed to include two rounds. Round one focuses students on recognizing and comparing the impact of fluctuations in exchange rate, consumer demand and tariff. Round two incorporates higher order thinking skills, asking learners to make decisions based upon analyzing, judging and interpreting market conditions.Play International Exchange »
