That’s what the interviews are for, if you’re interested to join in.

We’re interested in the many stories rather than some imagined average - so thank you for responding.

In our work, we tend to embrace the mess, chaos and specificity (when needed).

Also - first response should say are OR ARE NOT using tech … — I’m interested in allll the tools at the boardgame teacher’s disposal.

I’m interested in hobbyist gamers who teach games but also in someone who has taught their grandchildren to play snap or Uno, or who bought their kids a game at Kmart and now needs to get them up to speed.
Hope this helps! Happy to chat.

My research is about the intersection of boardgames & technology, so I have a specific interest in thinking about how people are using tech to learn and teach games (no spoilers here, it’s obvious from the questions). But the survey will also give broader insights into how people teach games.

Fantastic! Thank you so much for participating.

There’s an optional question to participate in further research activities (interviews, focus groups). Or you can email us at hybrid-games@unimelb.edu.au to reach out directly.

Fantastic, Andrew! Did you sign up for the interview sessions? Otherwise feel free to email us at hybrid-games@unimelb.edu.au if you'd like to chat more.

Thanks! It’s up to you - I think it’s great to have that range of game types represented but you’re welcome to respond with a published game as well.

The last game I “taught” was explaining Flip 7 on the radio - FWIW, I wouldn’t include that in the study.

Thank you!

lol if that was biased all research (academic and industry) would be completely broken.
