IFTF’s Education Committee promotes the teaching of IF in order to broaden its use beyond its cultural niche and to raise its profile in the gaming world.
The committee’s mission includes training and supporting educators (working at any educational level) who teach the programming and writing of IF. The committee defines the term “IF” most broadly to include IF as game, literature, art, simulation, as a tool for interactive digital presentations, tutorials, and interfaces, and as the interactive text component of a digital game or other software application.
The committee also seeks to advance digital inclusivity by promoting IF’s pedagogical use within racially, culturally, economically, and gender-diverse populations, and across multiple disciplinary fields.
