141: How to Create Active, Engaging, and Playful Learning Environments
Description
In episode 141 of the Lecture Breakers podcast, let's welcome Dr. Victoria (Tori) Mondelli and Dr. Joe Bisz to the show. They just published their new book, The Educator’s Guide to Designing Games and Creative Active-Learning Exercises: The Allure of Play.*
Tori and Joe discuss why active learning and play are so important in teaching and learning, and they both share their favorite “go to” activities to promote student engagement, encourage connection and sharing, and of course, improve learning.
And, as we bring the episode to a close, they share tips and recommendations to help get students, and faculty, “buy in” to the playful learning environment which often goes against the norms and traditions we see in higher education.
