Hello Andrew
A colleague of mine (Maggie Boyle)
used to be a member of SAGSET, which is an association devoted to the use of
games and simulation in learning and teaching http://www.sagset.org/.
I’m not sure what they are
currently up to as it was 2004 when I went to one of their conferences, but
they might have some useful resources or ideas for you.
All the best
Julia

Subject: Play / games / craft for information skills
Dear collective wisdom,
I’m plotting a series of workshops next year where
I’ll use play (either making things or playing/making games) to get
people to talk about information skills / academic skills in a library setting
– very brief outline here: https://library.hud.ac.uk/blogs/library/blog/2013/06/25/creative-library-workshops/
I’m hoping that some of the things created (especially
games?) could be used by the library afterwards with a bit of extra work…
Anyone done anything similar? Any tips, stuff to read,
pointers of any sort before I pin it down a bit more?
Thanks,
Andrew
