Presentation Description
Play-throughs, recorded player sessions of today’s popular computer and console games, provide a net generation catalyst for the teaching of research. While modeling analysis and multi-modal composition, these videos also provide a useful path to bridging the digital divide. From an information literacy perspective, play throughs also engage students in the research process. An instructor can demonstrate research methods by locating the videos in class and sharing the strategies used to locate the material. These videos will also provide more engagement in the early stages of instruction as opposed to traditional articles or other more academic material.
