Troy University Anthropology Club uses Minecraft to explore civilization
Original: Anthropology Club explores civilization via Minecraft
Troy University's Anthropology Club is exploring how civilizations develop by building them in Minecraft, turning the video game into a hands-on teaching tool. Members reconstruct societies, settlements and cultural systems in the game as a way to discuss anthropological ideas in an interactive format. The club's experiment highlights a growing trend of educators using popular games to make academic subjects more accessible to students.
Why now: It is an unusual example of a video game being used as an academic teaching tool.
