Reading this story about using Dance Dance Revolution to solve all sorts of library problems, got me thinking about how Dance Dance Revolution could solve some of the nastier problems at universities: grade appeals, promotion and tenure disputes, teaching loads, hospitality committee duties... it's endlessly fascinating to imagine. I can see it now: "The Grievance Committee suggests you 'take it to the mat' and dance off against against your plaintiff." Anyway, here's the original story from a library blog:
"Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a teen librarian who keeps Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) set up all the time so she can invoke it as need be. For example, if a teen has overdue books, she will dance-off against the person, and if the teen wins, the librarian will waive the fines.
In addition, when the kids get into squabbles amongst themselves, she tells them to take it to the mat and dance off against each other. It's a great way to channel some of their energy."
