Critical Hit: Using the Dungeons and Dragons platform for training and evaluation

1- Short Session Description: Leading your team of inexperienced adventurers, you burst through the castle door and standing in front of you are the final beasts: training and evaluation. Most would fear these monsters but not you and your team; you’ve been preparing for this all along. Using teamwork and communication you easily defeat the beasts and are rewarded with skill points and badges, huzzah! In this session, participants will engage in discussions about how they currently evaluate and train their staff, learn how to use Dungeons and Dragons for training and evaluation, fill out their own character sheet, and participate in a D&D session lead by the presenter.

2- Session Style/Format: Group discussion/Roleplaying

3- Takeaways: Participants will leave with an understanding of how to implement D&D as a platform for training and evaluation, a completed character sheet, and access to digital materials to run their own D&D campaign.
