Digital Preservation Games: Do it yourself!
Summary Abstract
This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session offers an interactive space to explore the transformative power of games in digital preservation. I will introduce the inherent value of gamification, demonstrating how it simplifies complex concepts and fosters engagement. This session directly addresses the conference's call for originality and innovation by providing a unique, hands-on approach to learning and community development.
The session will feature a workshop element, where I will share practical insights into tools and resources, including the Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) materials and platforms like Twine, empowering attendees to conceptualise their own games. This practical skill-building contributes significantly to the digital preservation field, offering tangible takeaways.
