Coll 182

This note last modified March 30, 2023

My undergraduate university had a program where students could teach classes, so I built a philosophy survey course using games to teach topics rather than textbooks.

The course was for college credit, and I taught it for 2 semesters, getting reviews that were 40% “good” and 60% “outstanding”.

Many of the games I used can be found on my list of philosophical games.

Who am I - professionally
- My interests primarily lie in educational games, with a specific focus on games that ask their players to reflect on themselves and the world around them — touching on concepts in critical thinking and philosophy. Summed up: why read about the trolley problem, when you can instead play through it yourself? These interests arose from a course I taught in undergraduate where I used games like The Stanley Parable, The Talos Principle, and The Witness to teach philosophy.
