The Value of Play in HE: A Study. Free Book!

Aug 31, 2022
This openly accessible ebook (343 pages in a 172 page PDF) is the account of Alison James's "study into the use and value of play in higher education, conducted September 2019- September 2022. Its purpose is to share the thoughts, experiences and perceptions of those who have contributed; writers on play, educators who play, scholars and practitioners who play with play." There's so much to like about this book: the way it's artfully constructed, the way it brings in many voices, the letter G, and of course the positive attitude toward play. It is on the one hand encyclopedic (witness the 'Gallery' of games in education, which forms the substantial body of the work) and on the other hand insightful ('going deeper'). If you read nothing else, skip to page 321 and read the 'gems'.
