As I publish in various disciplines and areas, these icons indicate the general area of study of the publication. Note that CS Education implies it is also Educational Technology, and that both Game Design and Serious Games imply it is also Game Studies. For the list below, the designation Serious Games includes the use of COTS games for serious purposes.

The following codes indicate the nature of the peer review applied to the work.

3. Excellence and Innovation in the Integration of Technology in Instructional Design/Teaching and Learning for Katrin's gamified Introduction to Computers course at MRU. This award recognizes excellence and innovation in instructional design, teaching and learning. Technology (i.e. video, audio, podcast, graphics or animation) must play a key role in the practice, system tool, course, etc. (2014)
4. IAP-DDL-AECT Crystal Award 2013 for Katrin's online course on Digital Game-Based Learning. This award recognizes innovative and outstanding multimedia-based distance learning courses and distance learning projects.
   Katrin is thrilled with this recognition of her experimental gamified design. She has always believed that education courses at the graduate level should *all* have significant novel and experimental aspects. We should be implementing the theories and methods we are teaching rather than just talking about them in our classes. The gamified design of this course combined with a metalearning approach to its delivery resulted in an experience that significantly broadened the horizons of the participants and embodies the philosophy of educational praxis. Katrin’s gamified design continues to be refined and has now being applied in a freshman introduction to computers course.
5. J. B. Hyne Research Innovation Award The Faculty of Graduate Studies created this award to recognize graduate students in any discipline who excel in research. (2006)
