Narrative
The integration of the GooseChase app into our University Libraries events has truly revolutionized the way we engage with our student community. By leveraging this innovative technology, we've been able to craft an array of exciting games and challenges that gamify the learning experience. Through these activities, students not only have a blast but also gain a deeper understanding of our library spaces and resources. GooseChase allows us to break down barriers and make the library more accessible, catering to diverse learning styles and preferences. It fosters a sense of exploration and curiosity, transforming the way students interact with our library, ultimately enriching their academic journey and reinforcing the idea that the library is a dynamic hub for learning and discovery. We’ve had over 780 participants and 6027 individual submissions to our Goosechase Games since Fall of 2021.
