This workshop, organized by Open Educational Resources coordinator and educational technologist Katherine Tsan (Baruch College), will be an introduction to Twine, an open-source digital tool for telling non-linear, interactive stories based on a choose-your-own-adventure model. Chris Klimas, the award-winning creator of Twine, will introduce the tool, discuss how it contributes to the growing gaming pedagogy movement and lead a hands-on portion of the workshop which will take the participants through the creation of a basic game. Support and troubleshooting will be provided in breakout rooms. There will be an option to share the finished games with the group and a sign-up to comment on the games and continue the discussion among the participants.
