I overhead this query in the course of the July 4th vacation, and I have been eager about it, “Why can we, as adults, nonetheless take a break from studying in the summertime?”
That thought germinated as I learn the e book Homo Ludens: A Examine of the Play-Ingredient in Tradition by Johan Huizinga. (I don’t suggest the e book; it’s outdated, not written in English, and really tutorial.)
And that’s what prompted me to create this video sequence about enjoyable in Studying and Growth.
There are 4 movies, all about half-hour lengthy. And every investigates scientific research of enjoyable and what it means for Studying and Growth. Particularly:
- The first video appears to be like at some cool neuroscience into why story is such an efficient educating instrument
- The second video dives into kinds of enjoyable, particularly, these primarily based on the 16 Core Wishes all of us have
- Subsequent, we deconstruct video games to find what makes them partaking if not addicting, and ask, “Are there elements of video games we will use in our studying applications?”
- Which brings us to the ultimate video about gamification, however from the psychology perspective as an alternative of recreation design
As we proceed to analysis strategies to entice and interact learners, we prefer to share with our group. I hope that you can see these movies useful and sensible so to create and ship extra profitable studying applications.

The primary one is concerning the 16 kinds of enjoyable you may apply to your studying applications (plus a pair extra). That one comes on the second video within the sequence.
