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 (g.r.bray@rgu.ac.uk and Valerie.McCutcheon@glasgow.ac.uk) and we’ll bear this in mind when we start planning the next one, which we hope to run in July 2020!
