Play with the Rules

Reading the Matrix as Terrain: RPGs Persistent Progression as a Curricular Model

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Damon E. Caldwell, Liane Hancock & Pasquale DePaola

This paper summarizes the last five years of curricular articulations of the architecture program at Louisiana Tech University, where, by critically interrogating the “old� norms that underline the pedagogical framework itself, “new� norms can be generated. The act of constructing and implementing an instructional pedagogy which “plays with the rules� is facilitated by rethinking gameplay. Changing the game metaphor allows new rules, and new methods of interpretation, to be brought to action; control taken from the rules and given to the players.
