Play the Dilemma Game: Professionalism and Integrity in Research, created by a team at Eramus University (Rotterdam) to explore difficult choices frequently encountered by faculty and student researchers – and by those who support them.
In breakout groups, you’ll first imagine yourself as researcher confronting a dilemma. Then you’ll consider how you can use game scenarios as instructional tools. Although the game is available as an app, we’re using the off-line version so an Internet connection and a headset are the only technology you need to participate.
Come to share your own ideas and experience! Come to discover new techniques for teaching research integrity. Come to have fun!
Facilitated by Melody Herr, PhD, Scholarly Communications Librarian at the University of Arkansas.
