By CFT Digital Media Services
The Leading Lines podcast team produced 3 new episodes in the last month that offer keen insights into learning across online environments, social media, and board games.
Episode 110 – Patrick Rael
Patrick Rael is a professor of history at Bowdoin College in Maine. Patrick is also a gamer, a tabletop board gamer, to be specific. He brought together his expertise as a historian and his passion for analog gaming in a course he teaches at Bowdoin, a course called Historical Simulations. In this course, Patrick’s students play board games with historical settings as a way to understand and evaluate historical arguments. In the conversation, Patrick shares the origin of this interesting course, he talks about the ways games and play lead to deep learning in this course, and he argues for more scholarly work around the use of analog games in teaching and learning.
