How to Play Like A… : Concrete Ideas for Playful Pedagogy

Friday October 4, 2024 9:00am - 10:30am CDT

Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants

Feedback Survey

Learning (and teaching) is often framed as work, the opposite of play. Play is framed as an improper pursuit in higher education; however, as academics, we play- with words, with ideas, with colleagues as we challenge and debate theories and approaches and build new ones. Let’s explore playful pedagogy and how “playful knowing” can strengthen learning, build community, and spark joy and imagination in both professor and learner. Come play with us as we explore the scholarship of playful pedagogy, the science and value of play in adult learning, and how you might incorporate playfulness into your courses as well as strategies to teach your students to play like a historian…or like a biologist…or like a literary critic…etc.

Feedback Survey

This session will empower participants to identify topics to gamify and strategize how to find or build their own games to employ in the classroom. In my experience, games help students push past the habit of memorization into application in context. They are better able to predict outcomes and imagine real-life scenarios after playing games related to content they have already been exposed to in traditional contexts.

Saint Louis University’s Core Ignite initiative requires undergraduates to enroll in small-group seminars centered on the research interests of faculty. During these seminars, faculty spark the intellectual curiosity of students by introducing them to their own discipline and the core tenets of Ignatian learning (context, reflection, action, and experience). In this workshop, four Ignite faculty will offer examples of how they incorporate healing and community engagement in the disciplines of Education, Visual Studies, Physical Therapy, and Women’s and Gender Studies.

While “lunch and learns” and in-person and synchronous online faculty workshops still exist and serve a distinct purpose in building communities of practice in higher education, more and more faculty development happens when instructors are online, on their own time.

Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants

Feedback Survey

The development of course expectations, often in the form of syllabus statements, has been one of the most common responses of faculty to the use of generative AI by students; we have set expectations for the students we educate. For faculty and staff in higher education, however, it remains a “wild west” with the use of generative AI, but formulating expectations for these stakeholders is essential to ensure their use of this technology is feasible. This presentation will introduce and discuss a framework for determining and setting expectations for higher education faculty and staff.
