This project builds a community of university teachers who are using online role play and develops a repository of sharable/reusable role play learning designs with an associated peer review process. In two years it aims to double the number of role play designers by scaffolding beginners and establishing national and international role play partnerships.

Definition

This project covers educational role plays in Australian universities designed to increase understanding of real life human interaction and dynamics.

1. participants assume a role in someone else's shoes or in someone else's situation
2. to do authentic tasks in an authentic context
3. involving substantial in-role human interaction such as collaboration, negotiation, debate
4. interaction between roles is substantially in an online environment
5. learning outcomes are assessable and generate opportunities for student reflection

Our community of practice will assist in refining the definition and determining where on the continuum they sit.
