Back in 2019, the Center for Teaching, along with a few other units on campus, hosted a Learning at Play symposium about teaching with games and simulations. Listeners may recall that Mark Sample from Davidson College was our keynote speaker, and I talked with him here on Episode 72 of the podcast. Given the pandemic, we didn’t host another Learning at Play symposium in 2020, In lieu of another symposium this fall, we organized a panel on Zoom with some instructors teaching with games and simulations in a pandemic, and I’m happy to share the audio from that panel here on the podcast today. Our panelists were Holly Tucker, Mellon Foundation chair in the humanities and director of the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities; Shaul Kelner, associate professor of sociology and Jewish studies; and Cait Kirby, PhD candidate in biological sciences. In this episode, you’ll hear all three panelists talk about the games or simulations they taught with or created in 2020, and you’ll hear them respond to a couple of questions from the audience.
