In my last blogpost I talked about the use of creative methods in teaching concepts and theories in various courses. Professor Rebecca Whitehead teaches a class called, "Introduction to Applied Leadership," that uses an online role-playing game to train the students to be leaders. They learn goal setting, motivation, problem solving, and working in teams. The class is designed for senior technology-management majors at the University of Advancing Technology, described on their home page as:
"a unique, technology-infused private college that was founded by a techno-geek for techno-geeks. Our Mission is to educate students in the fields of advancing technology to become innovators of the future. UAT's campus culture is devoted to continually nurturing a thriving geek community where everyone's personal lives and professional aspirations revolve around technology."
| Sounds like a fun place to learn... |
