RACL-IL will foster the adoption and use of best practices in information literacy at all University System of Georgia institutions; serve as a sounding board/generative body for IL initiatives related to libraries; and work to inform USG broadly about how instruction and reference librarians serve as partners in teaching and learning initiatives. The group will recommend opportunities to implement those best practices across the University System of Georgia to the Regents Academic Committee on Libraries.
Join us and explore how board games, role-play, and other analog games can energize your teaching and help students engage with your content and succeed. Participants will explore examples from different disciplines, learn what GS resources are currently available, and walk out with practical ideas to enhance learning.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to...
Identify current resources available for our faculty interested in adding games to their learning program.
Identify opportunities to add gaming to learning plan and how to implement them in classroom.
