Abstract
This session showcases Dr. Malone's use of Twine on the Twitch live-streaming platform in one of her game-design classes at University of Wisconsin. It offers an occasion to consider Twine as a teaching tool, a demonstration of live design as a teaching method, and a view of Twitch as an academic platform. Malone and Moulthrop will each speak for about 5 minutes at the beginning of the session to set context for the video, which will run about 30 minutes. The presenters will take questions for 15-20 minutes after the video. No special technology will need to be downloaded or used by participants for the presentation, however if anyone is interested in knowing more here are links to various relevant sites:
