On 11th September the University of Glasgow held a Research Support Games Day. The purpose of this event was to give support staff the opportunity to experience different games or games-based tools that could be used with researchers for educational or training purposes. The day was very successful with lots of positive feedback - there is definitely interest in organising a similar event in the future.
The event write-up is here: https://uogopenresearch.wordpress.com/
We are currently working on providing a central resource of information about games and this will be shared soon….
In the meantime, we are thinking about The Next Event … We’d be interested in running another event like this in future, as everyone seemed to find it very useful and there are lots more games and games-based workshops out there. Are you...: a) Interested in providing a venue or sponsorship? b) Keen for us to showcase a particular game or run a particular workshop? c) Have feedback on how we might improve how the event is run?
If so, then feel free to get in touch with us (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and This email address is being protected from spambots.
