History as hypothesis

The Web site for the “Reacting to the Past” program discussed in the Q&A above offers details and discussion. In addition to synopses of the currently available games, there are links to news stories from various media, including the Chronicle of Higher Education and the New York Times. The student course description used at Barnard College gives full information about how the games work and how they are graded, and there is a video of a Reacting class in action. A list of conferences dealing with Reacting is also available.
