Matt Anderson, visiting assistant professor of computer science at Union College, delivers his talk, "Game Design Telephone: Hooking Students from Day One," as part of Union College's "Leaps of Faith: 8 Stories about Cultivating Complex Thinkers for a Messy World."
"Leaps of Faith" highlights and celebrates the progress at Union of reinvigorating the culture of teaching and learning over the lifecycle of the Mellon Our Shared Humanities grant.
Over the past five years, 64 faculty have participated in a one-week summer faculty development institute, whose goal is to help faculty effectively implement new instructional technologies, evidence-based instructional design methods and student-centered teaching strategies.
