Student Quick Guide

GradeCraft is a learning management system that supports gameful instruction, a new approach to course design that emphasizes the need for students to make meaningful choices about how they will make progress within a course, be enabled to take on work that constantly challenges them, and feel connected to both their peers and instructional staff. In these courses, you build up points from zero to the grade you want. Choose when and what type of work you want to do, and take risks without the fear that your grade will suffer!
