December 2025 – Room TBC
IDN is inherently an interactive process among designers, players, characters, contexts, and more, yet much of the research in our field involves interviews or assessments after the process is complete. While postprocess surveys or interviews IDN artifacts is important, IDN scholars and designers have the knowledge and tools to increase understanding of the unique socially creative IDN process. This workshop offers theory, rationale, examples, and activities for in-process IDN research and evaluation. Our focus is to identify interactive pivots (shared designer-player processes) at the unique center of IDN practice. The primary goal is to work together developing/implementing strategies and tools capturing interactivity in IDN processes.
Workshop participants are the focus of our convening, with your research projects at the center of hands on work.
The exact workshop plan is to be adapted to Participants’ proposals
