WHAAAATTTT? Using Gamification Design to Teach Required College Courses!
Summary:
Designing course content is tricky! Doing it in a way that interests students in required courses is a Gordian Knot! Join your IU colleagues for inspiration AND support for this age-old problem!
Description:
College students often view required courses as tedious at best and unimportant and unworthy of their time and effort in worst-case scenarios. But what happens when these required courses are built upon gamified approaches and playful pedagogy? Is it possible for adults to earn college credits and complete pre-requisites while enjoying the process and learning the course content? YES IT IS! Join faculty from Indiana University to get some inspiration and brainstorm your own future course design! (This session is not conceptually tied to specific software, but it will demonstrate various applications integrated into the curriculum.) Faculty from all K-12 and college disciplines at all learning levels will take inspiration from this session. Session participants will have time to discuss, process and brainstorm their own course design applications of shared ideas.
Journalist Linda Codega and a panel of experts (including Jim Butler and Ryan Dancey) break down what happened with the OGL 1.1 and the fan backlash around Wizards of the Coast.
Description:
From fan backlash to third party publishers, everyone had a reaction to the leaked OGL. This seminar will go over exactly what happened when, and why. It will focus on fandom, media response, and community movement, and dive a little bit into the history of the OGL, SRDs, and why the proposed January 2023 change was so hated. The group will also discuss how the backlash affected D&D--from books to movies to players' trust. Panelists currently include Ryan Dancey, one of the OGL 1.0's champions, Jim Butler, President and CEO of Paizo, and one of the original architects of the OGL, and Noah Downs, a lawyer who has extensive experience in the TTRPG industry.
