We use board games and create opportunities to help others learn and teach better via the experiential medium of games!
Conceived by Eric Rapos and Peter Jamieson in the spring of 2022, and with the initial support of Miami University's Center of Teaching Excellence the inaugural Faculty Learning Community Let's Play: Improved Instruction through Re-Experiencing Learning using Tabletop Games was created with the idea that board games would allow educators to experience role reversal and remind themselves what it is like to be a beginner and learner again. The framework and its dissemination has continued to grow ever since. This 2024-2025 Ontario Tech offering is part of the Let's Play project.
