| Short Description | Join us as we lead an interactive session to share research & explore using games (e.g., TTRPGs, escape rooms) in higher education & professional development. |
| Long Description | Dr Jesse Olsen (Senior Lecturer of Management) and Dr Michael "Maxx" Schmitz (Lecturer and Curriculum Designer in the Faculty of Arts) conduct research at the University of Melbourne (Australia) on the use of games in higher education and training settings. Their work explores how games like tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs), escape rooms, and wargames can equip learners with essential work and life skills. In this interactive session, Jesse and Maxx will share insights from their research and invite participants to discuss their own experiences with gaming, its role in education and training, and its impacts on skill development and real-world outcomes. Participants will explore the challenges of implementing game-based learning and exchange practical strategies for success. No prior experience or knowledge is required—just bring your curiosity and ideas for an engaging discussion. |
