Tangents Of Play: Teaching & Learning Through Misdirection
Wed 10:00 AM - Wed 11:00 AM: 30 tickets, $0 each (Official Listing)

Case 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.

Timing:
Wed 10:00 AM - Wed 11:00 AM
Location:
JW / White River Ballroom F
Long Description:
Attendees 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.
