Introduction The current research includes specific information on the regional conference “Reacting to the Past” (RTTP) which took place October 16-18, 2009 in Eastern Michigan University. The conference represents a great opportunity for the consortium to involve more members in the program and to share the pedagogical experience; for different educational institutions, participation in the regional conferences is a chance to become a member of the RTTP Consortium and become engaged in the new educational program. The general information about the Consortium The “Reacting to the Past” Conference hosted by Eastern Michigan University took place October 16-18, 2009. This particular conference was held on the regional level and aimed at receiving more information about “Reacting to the Past”. The program presupposed active participation in two-day workshops on specific featured games. The “Reaction to the Past” (RTTP) consortium is an institution of 40 educational establishments containing colleges and universities. The RTTP pedagogy is a brand-new approach to learning and analyzing information. The members of the consortium are ready to cooperate with other institutions which are likely to join them (Barnard College, About Section). Thereby, Eastern Michigan University hosted the “Reacting to the Past” Consortium on October 16-18, 2009. The new method of study involves the participants in painstaking games which help to know more about the historical events. Thus the games are set in the past; they involve classic texts in world history including a great number of different events. Each participant is to perform a certain role from the historic event. Only students can participate in the elaborate games, whereas instructors guide them and grade their oral and written activities. The class sessions are aimed at improving academic skills by means of engaging participants in the great ideas developed by great authors of the past; intellectual skills in the course of games are improved as well (Barnard College, About Section). Moreover, the new educational approach to the study expands the curriculum in order to support faculty workshops and for further collaboration. “In addition to games currently published in the RTTP Series (Longman), the consortium seeks to expand the curriculum by supporting faculty workshops and collaboration” (Barnard College, About Section). Thus, the new games are designed in order to explore a great number of historical events that affected sciences and humanities. Though the games engage the participants in exciting historical moments, they involve additional disciplines which help to develop the intellectual and academic skills of the students. That is why the RTTP is considered a pedagogy guideline and presupposes activities for students, whereas the instructors simply perform the role of a teacher who guides and give grades. The RTTP Conference at the Eastern Michigan University The brief history of the foundation of the “Reacting to the Past” (RTTP) Consortium is represented on the website of the organization. According to the website data, the consortium has six major founders; they are educational institutions including Barnard College, which appears to be the author of the website; Pace University, Smith College, Loras College, Trinity College, and Queens College. The consortium was
