In an effort to make our information literacy program more interactive and interesting to our students and at the same time to try new trends, we gamified it by implementing a badge system. Also, a hybrid context would create the opportunity to include more hands-on activities. Forum posts were used as a method by which students would demonstrate learning. Online games were also incorporated for making the sessions more fun, and the final project became a card/board game group assignment. The presentation will examine the overall organization of the program, the outcomes of the students’ assignments, and their feedback.
