“…Playful design is the simplest way to integrate basic game elements or aesthetics in a non-gaming educational context so as to attract attention and interest (Borges, Durelli, Reis, & Isotani, 2014). The application of playful design principles in an external context can be also called playification (Campo, Baldassarre, & Lee, 2019;Davis, 2018). One example of playful design in website design was Twitter's funny error page called "Fail Whale".…”

This study examines the impact on engagement and affective outcomes of playful learning in Social Virtual Reality (SVR) for distance and open education settings and aims to provide a practical framework for playful learning design. Three case studies in the United States and Greece were examined where playful learning was organized for e-learning. Data collection methods include questionnaires, observation of online course meetings, reviewing of course communications and chat logs records, students and instructors interviews, student coursework assessments, and reflections. Findings indicated that playful learning experiences in SVR can increase academic interest, intrinsic motivation, engagement level, satisfaction, and completion rates. Instructors’ genuine investment in a thoughtful, sophisticated humorous approach was vital for students’ buy-in. Finally, guiding principles for playful learning design in SVR are summarized in a model involving four dimensions; theme, actions, narrative and auxiliary components (TANC).

“…As play is stereotypically closely identified with childhood, its analytical potential is often overlooked. In research, play is usually studied in order to assess children's skills, abilities and development and/or to intentionally designing playful research settings in order to engage children (Campo, Baldassarre, & Lee, 2018;Clarke, 2005;Koller & San Juan, 2015). Our experience was the inverse, we were recruited by children into their play, and what we purpose to do, is to look at play as a metaphor, as an epistemological trope (cf.…”

Metaphors we experiment with in multimodal ethnography

In this paper, we argue for a view of analysis as an embodied practice and review others' testimonies of carrying out multimodal ethnography. This review suggests that metaphors are key for communicating what happens to us in the course of the research and our subsequent sensemaking practices. We identify four metaphors for communicating data collection and analytic practices: composing, meandering, plundering and time travel. We then turn to our own multimodal fieldwork with children in middle childhood, to think about the experiences and emergent metaphors that shaped our practice on an international study looking at the relationship between childhood and public life. Children's play was instructive in our own formation as multimodal ethnographers. We provide examples of the ways in which children recruited us into their play, the ways in which play taught us about what matters to children, and finally, how we took play into our own analytical practices.
