Thanks

Hi everyone,

My name is Sophia and I am reaching out as a PhD researcher with the University of South Australia, who is interested in gathering the perspectives of professionals within in the Australian collections sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) on educational games.



My work revolves around creating an introductory 'how-to' guide for educational game development for and by Australian collections institutions, with a strong industry-facing focus. This guide will incorporate considerations of time, technical ability, and cost, and seeks to promote the development of more games for learning within the Australian sector. To test the applicability of this guide and provide a practical game development case study, I intend to partner with the History Trust of South Australia in 2024.



I am currently recruiting participants for a study into professional perspectives on games and their use as educational tools in collections, as well as gathering input on what would be useful to include into said 'introductory' guide.



If you have 5 minutes to spare, and work or volunteer in any capacity at an Australian collection, please consider contributing your perspectives to this work through the following survey:

If you would like to know more about my research or how your collection could be involved, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me through my project website<https://gamesforcollections.wordpress.com> or LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophia-booij>.

If you have specific experience making a game for a museum (it doesn't have to be educational!) and have time for a short interview, you could also consider contributing to Nellie Seale's research<https://melbourneuni.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bd2cbs4gIYqTyPc> at the University of Melbourne.
