    A description of how I employ video games and RPGs, especially open-world online games, to harness student curiosity and foster an interest in research-based assignments in literature and humanities courses. Talk was presented to a K-16 audience with emphasis on K-12 teaching, but assignments work well at 9-12 and undergraduate university levels.

    There were some great videos, quests for the holy grail of coffee during finals week, some Lancelot getting busted texting Guinevere, one Meleagant on trial, etc. I continue to tweak how I explain the goals of the assignment for the students, and am hoping to see results in May.

    Molly, What an amazing activity. We have a lot of aspiring screenwriters at ONU, and they would love the course.

    I’m thinking of teaching a course that combines reading Arthurian literature and creative writing. So–we read some of the major medieval and modern treatments, and then let the students design their own. That’s my ambitious plan,…[Read more]
