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
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.
