Digital Lab Academy: What Participants Say

Published 26 days ago • 1 min read

Hello!

If you're considering taking a class with us in the future, then why not listen to what our previous students have said about the experience?
​
Students felt that our Education Lead Sarah had "great energy" and "great pacing," and found it "fascinating to learn about the problematic representations of Islamic civilizations in games," alongside what exactly the DLIVCC has done to address these issues within the gaming industry.
​
Others "enjoyed the wealth of information," and felt that Sarah was "very knowledgeable and passionate about the history." In particular, they "appreciated how she connected the cultural influences and how they moved through each time period."
​
If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, then come and join us for our next DLIVCC Academy course in early December:
​
​Introduction to al-Andalus
Dates: December 1-4
Time: 12:00pm-1:30pm EST/5:00pm-6:30pm UK/8:00pm Istanbul
