Description
Class Experience
Using game-based learning, the learners will be put in the position of decision-makers for one of the great powers of World War 2. We will use a boardgame to simulate the military and foreign policy dimensions of the war and the prelude to war. The boardgame starts in 1936 and ends when the victory conditions are completed for either side. Rules for the boardgame will be provided by the instructor. A learner does not need to attend every class to be able to follow, as the learners will work...
I have taught International Relations, including the lead up to World War 2, at St. Thomas University.
Learners are advised to read the rulebooks thoroughly.
Rulebook for Days of Decision III and World in Flames 5th Edition. Both will be provided as PDFs by the instructor.
2 hours per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Learners will need a Steam-account to log into the game, as the class will be using the Tabletop Simulator, available on Steam for about $10 US. Learners should log in using a desktop or laptop, with a mouse, to navigate the 3D boargame.
