WHAT IS THE REACTING CONSORTIUM?
The Reacting Consortium is a nonprofit consortium of institutions and individual instructors united under the common belief imagination, inquiry, and engagement are essential features of teaching and learning. Read more about the history and mission of the Reacting Consortium here.
WHY JOIN?
There are many reasons to become a Reacting Consortium member, including the benefits listed below. Moreover, your membership helps sustain and advance Reacting as a pedagogy. It helps us maintain the standards of exhaustive review of games-in-development (did you know that published games have gone through at least 3 separate rounds of editorial review and revision?). It allows us to run conferences, apply for grants, and to answer hundreds of questions from faculty each semester.
INDIVIDUAL VS. INSTITUTIONAL MEMBERSHIP
Institutional Membership is held in the name of a college or university, and the benefits of institutional membership apply to the entire staff and faculty of the institution. Institutional membership is intended to support schools as they integrate and expand their use of Reacting to the Past and engaged pedagogies.
The person who registers for the institutional membership will be the point person (or 'bundle administrator') for the institutional membership by default. Any 'bundle administrator' can add other faculty and staff to the institutional membership, to ensure that they enjoy the benefits of membership. You can change the bundle administrator at any time. Either from your account profile page, or by emailing mprovo@barnard.edu
Individual Membership is designed to support educators using Reacting to the Past on their campus, & for those who wish to help advance the mission of the Reacting Consortium. The benefits of individual membership apply only to the named registrant. Annual individual membership runs for 12 months from registration. We also offer 5-year and lifetime individual memberships.

- Student and Instructor materials for 30+ games in development
