The Playful Learning Tour Guide - A self coaching educational framework to help you develop playful learning activities

Abstract

The Playful Learning Tour Guide aims to establish an evidence-based framework that supports educators in creating pedagogically appropriate and engaging approaches to facilitating learning through play. Mapping two underpinning educational approaches (heutagogy and Bloom’s taxonomy) against common game mechanics, the guide takes educators through reflective coaching exercises and practical steps in designing their own playful learning activities.
