I overhead this query through the July 4th vacation, and I have been interested by it, “Why will we, as adults, nonetheless take a break from studying in the summertime?”
That thought germinated as I learn the e book Homo Ludens: A Research of the Play-Component 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 (I don’t suggest the e book; it’s outdated, not written in English, and really tutorial.)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 seems at some cool neuroscience into why story is such an efficient instructing device
- The second video dives into varieties of enjoyable, particularly, these based mostly 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 points 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 a substitute of sport design
As we proceed to analysis strategies to entice and interact learners, we wish to share with our group. I hope that you can find these movies useful and sensible with the intention to create and ship extra profitable studying applications.

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