Online Role-plays Podcast

Created by Matthew Riddle (University of Cambridge) on April 25, 2006
Role-play has long been used as an educational tool to provide learners with a way to understand the real world.  Since the advent of the World Wide Web, online role-plays have become widely used in Australian tertiary institutions to provide students with authentic learning opportunities.  This presentation profiles two examples of online role-plays developed at the University of Melbourne: DRALE Online, in which final year law students form legal teams in a dispute resolution process, and The Campaign, a role-play about journalists and political advisors following a political campaign.
