What if Education...

“Play stimulates flow state (also known as being in the zone) and a mindset in which students take more risks, which is ideal for learning.” After recently reading this in an article I had to find out more, and here we are a new episode of What if Education... Playful Learning.  

In this episode we dive into the differences between playful learning and gamification, what to consider when implementing playful learning into higher education and imagining a university where playful learning becomes part of the curriculum. 

My colleague and guests from Leiden University joining in on this conversation are Tanja de Bie, Online Platform and Community Management Specialist at the Centre for Innovation, Assistant Professor, Carjlijn Bergwerff, at the Programme Group Clinical Neurodevelopmental Studies and Student of Master Psychology Liudvikas Pikutis, specialising in Methodology and Statistics.  

What are you waiting for? This episode is great!

Can Playful Learning Save Education? | Becky Stirrup | TEDx University of Leeds Ted talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPWTFdKniRw

Think about how higher education is currently organised and now try to think how it could go beyond disciplinary specialisations where locally situated scholars, workers, artists, activists, community-based practitioners and associations contribute to education through participatory approaches.

What can we learn from engaging with them? In what ways can their voice enrich classroom learning and bring meaning to academic quests?

These are the questions that the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) and the Humanities Across Borders (HAB) program are trying to answer.

Please join me, Monika, Dr Philippe Peycam – Director of IIAS, Dr. Aarti Kawlra – Academic Director of HAB and Orraya Chawnan – student at Chiang Mai University.

This episode is somewhat of a personal interest of mine that I am very happy to share with you, titled “The future of extended reality (XR) within education”.

Please join me, Monika, my co-host Thomas Ginn, who is Centre for Innovation’s VR filmmaker and my guests, Sander Veenhof a developer and artist of AR/VR as well as Mitchell Bosch a media technology student at Leiden University.

The topics we tackle are of course how we see XR implemented in the future of education. What should we look out for, especially regarding our own privacy, when using these devices and then some ideas how to tackle these issues in the future?

In this episode, titled “Convenience of Digital Tools” the focus is based around a fictional digital tool we created to solve some issues within education. The idea was to see if the tool can help the teacher or student with some of the issues they experience with online education. The guests did not know that the tool created was fake, right up to the moment of being interviewed. Did this digital tool live up to their expectations?

Please join Monika, her co-host Joanna van der Merwe, Centre for Innovation’s Privacy Protection Lead and her guests Daan Romein, Team Leader Professional Development and Educational Innovation at Leiden University and Bastian Mielke, a second-year student of Global Public Health at Leiden University College (LUC).

What does sustainability mean to you? How does it or has it affected you in your own life? Should universities be the leaders in educating people how to be more sustainable?

Listen to Monika and her guests David Zetland a university lecturer in political economy at Leiden University College (LUC) and Soem Zeijlmans, a recent graduate majoring in Governance, Economics, and Development from LUC, as they dive into sustainability topics, share their experiences and of course the "What if’s".

In this last episode of the 3-part series Monika dives into the future of education with Marcello A. Gómez Maureira, a researcher and designer, and a teacher at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science as well as a PhD candidate at Leiden University. Our student today is Juliette Petra Rose van der Laarse, a game developer, learning and education enthusiast, and innovator currently studying at Leiden University.  

Do they paint the same picture of the future in education or react the same way as our previous guests toward microchips and social scoring? 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We are joined by Jaap Brons, a History teacher, currently teaching Humanities at the Highschool Academie Tien based in Utrecht, and Pelle Berkhout a post-graduate student specialising in Latin American Studies and International Relations, as well as a student assistant at the Centre for Innovation also at Leiden University. 

How do the visions of education in 2030 of Jaap and Pelle differ from the guests in our first episode?  Are they more comfortable with the microchipping and social scoring system?

Monika speaks to Dr. María Gabriela Palacio, Assistant Professor of Development Studies, Social Policy and International Studies at Leiden University and Nicole Kadlec currently a student of International Studies as well as an assistant student working at the Centre for Innovation, also at Leiden University. 

The curveball in this 3-part series: the education of the future uses micro-chips and social scoring. How do the guests feel about it?
