The recent “FanTales” project was a fantastic (ba dum tss) step into teaching with interactive fiction, but the participatory/extracurricular nature of writing fanfiction was not explored in detail (at least, based on my reading). 

As a follow-up or extension to their project, I am conducting research on how participation in game jams and game communities, in general, can help students develop intercultural competency, multiliteracies, appreciation of their own and other cultures, and game programming knowledge. 

Students will make bitsy games, share creations on itch.io, and analyse any feedback they receive from the community.

As such, this small vignette is a test to see how easy it is to create and upload Bitsy games here.
