: • “enjoyed class, liked concept map, quizzes are good so didn't spend much time in class talking about theory, whereas quizzes are about background, good structure of class, first time doing Zoom class but liked breakout rooms to make things more dynamic & connect with other students one-by-one.” • “course is great, shows that lot of work put into it, students appreciate that we got to know them.” • “helpful and useful course, went very well. Wait a few seconds before choosing answer, and it went well.” Note that the comment on waiting a few seconds refers to handling the issues of SCORM quiz scoring in Blackboard. • “lots of reading & HW assignments, but good to allow understanding concepts

Appropriate application of ICT to prevent academic dishonesty is a technical researcharea with potential.

Other conclusions cannot bedrawn at this time since gamification was only implemented in small ways in the courses.One future opportunity is to develop a concept map-like interface to help students understandtheir progress through the course information (which would hopefully be motivational) and gaininsight as to how topics are related to each other. This was attempted in Moodle by organizingthe semester by topics in spring 2016, but removed the milestone aspect which helps studentsgauge where they should be when a course is organized by semester week/date. As such, analternate way of implementing the interface would need to be explored.The next
