  4. Why play games in HE? • Research involves play • An active learning technique • Provides a range of sensory stimulation to aid memory formation • Offers a break from screens! • An opportunity to bring researchers together • Do you need to give “permission to play”?

  5. Research games See: http://bit.ly/ResearchGames • The Game of Open Access • The Impact Game • Open Access Escape Room • The Publishing Trap

  6. Mapping games to the RDF • Use the Factsheets map the games to the RDF • How might you incorporate these games in lesson planning at your workplace?

  7. Mind the (RDF) gaps! • Which RDF sub-domains don’t have games or activities mapped to them? • Does your service offer existing activities / training which might fill the gaps? • Is there a research game that you might develop?
