Short DescriptionCase studies of games-based learning in my university literature courses. The shared purpose of goals, rules, and attitudes in both study and play, and how unpredictable divergences lead to learning.
Long DescriptionAttendees will engage in hands-on activities from 3 of my classes (Creative Writing, Literature and Games, and Living Literature) and review a few ideas from instructional design and play theory. I’ll demonstrate how best practices enhance learner motivation and engagement through semi-structured lessons that remain open to learner experience, player agency, and positive outcomes beyond prescribed goals.
