THE RESULTS

Students needed to determine ethical solutions to ethical conflicts in various professional interpreting settings and then explain the importance of ethical decision-making and behavior in these settings.

 Present students with ethics and settings scenarios, including challenges and solutions, in an engaging way.

 

Create an interactive game blended with custom video production to show the instructor signing instructions and feedback in ASL.

 "Who Wants to Be An Interpreter" was an  interactive game show experience we created that features a 15 questions about ethical considerations for interpreters.

The game was a mastery-style game in which student can retry questions until they are successful.
