The Concept

Identification and implementation of engaging, evidence-based virtual learning environments is a priority within modern education systems in order to meet the demands of an increasingly digitally focused student population and thus promote deeper learning.

Within this area, concepts such as curricula co-design, utilisation of blended digital learning platforms, games-based playful learning and digital badges are increasingly becoming of interest to academic institutions as a way of increasing student engagement and satisfaction with curricula. 

This blog aims to explore some of the options available to teachers and learners alike and aims to research the underlying theory of playful learning in order to better understand and appreciate this innovative area of learning theory.
