Hot off the press: Mashing Up History and Heritage in #AssassinsCreedOdyssey, my open access article for Games and Culture. While there's always an academic time lag, seeing this in print has brought back fond memories of exploring ACO's world back in 2018 https://t.co/wkviW3ebVT

This was such a fantastic conversation.
@lexie_henning is the most accommodating host and her questions were nuanced and thought-provoking throughout. It does help that we share a love of all things Classics and gaming, which definitely comes across.

[The Ozymandias Project @TheOzymandiasP1]

Today on Ancient Office Hours, Dr. @RichardAlanCole , a lecturer in Digital Classics at the University of Bristol, drops by to discuss merging the ancient world with contemporary digital mediums, the Virtual Reality Oracle project, and using VR in education/classrooms.

🎮#Play is a powerful learning tool
#LearnersFirst

#Videogames can be ideal for:
➡️exploring reconstructed historical locations
➡️piecing together a #narrative from fragmented and conflicting accounts

This #HISTOLAB Tutorial, made in cooperation with @HistoryGamesNet, proposes 2⃣ games developed by @CharlesGames_cz (Attentat 1942 and Svoboda 1945) as a means of engaging with #history through videogames.

It also tackles:
➡️challenges,
➡️possible classroom themes and
➡️further practical guidance

@rostron_claire @Classical_Assoc Wow, what a day! Thanks so much for coming, especially considering the packed schedule. Hope you found it interesting. And that's the benefit of hybrid - open to all!

@AM_Christensen Thanks, Alexis! Much appreciated. Would love to hear what your students think of the ideas, should they explore them. Between this and the gaming work, you’re doing so much to broaden student horizons.
