RIPPLE breakfast meeting – Games and Learning
April 27, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 10:30 am
The next in the RIPPLE series of breakfast meetings 2022-23 will take place on Teams on Thursday 27th April, 09:30–10:30am.
RIPPLE (Research Into Professional Practice in Learning and Education) was founded as a network of professionals interested in research as a form of critical engagement with our practice, including its subject-content, pedagogical and policy dimensions. It has evolved to become a thriving community of practice where both academic and professional services colleagues can share best practice and research that is taking place across our YSJ community relating to a wide range of issues that impact student and staff experience. For 2022-23, RIPPLE will be co-convened by Dr Emma Walker (Associate Head: School of Education, Language & Psychology) and Dr Katherine Cross (Liberal Arts/Library & Learning Services).
In April’s session we are looking forward to discussing Games and Learning. Have you ever wondered how learning could be more playful? How do you think gaming can support education? To start the conversation, we will hear from Dr Jack Denham (Sociology & Criminology), who co-leads the Interactive Games Research Group, about his research into video games and learning, and from Jonathan Power (Library & Learning Services) on a new board games initiative in the Library.
