In order to truly achieve this, we felt that all current and new IDD staff needed to be provided with opportunities for real game-play experience that they may then translate into their course building projects. This idea became the ID&D podcast series! This is a vlog featuring the IDD team, playing Dungeons & Dragons as a group (as characters that they created themselves!), and then translating their experience during each session into real-life course building ideas and pedagogical practice for the online classroom. Enjoy!
