2. Some things we’ve learned from ARGOSI
Timing is important
Don’t expect autonomy for all
Many students need an external motivation
Difficult to make learning outcomes fun
Getting the challenges right is hard
Easier is more accessible
Students not keen to work offline
Underestimated time taken to support

3. Potential for ARGs
Wider student support (at different times rather than induction)
Links to subject curricula
Links to assessment
Components
Use of narrative
Activity-based learning
Development of self-supporting community

4. Questions for educational ARGs
How do you provide motivation to play?
How to keep niche yet still be inclusive?
How can you make ARGs accessible?
ARGs support the autonomous learner
Can they also be used to develop autonomy?
Can you build in reflection on learning?

5. Any final questions?
