Network for playful learning

Spillnettverket, or network for playful learning, is an informal gathering of USN staff and students interested in games, play, and their use in teaching, through research, practice or simple curiosity.

What is Spillnettverket?

The network is an informal way to gather staff and students interested in games and play. Network members are either researching games and/or playful learning, using it in their own teaching or curious about it. Spillnettverket is open for all, across all faculties and sections. We organise in person and digital meetings every semester.

What can you expect of Spillnettverket?

Spillnettverket is an arena shaped by its members. We are trying to organise an in-person seminar every semester, as well as a few digital meetings. Here are some examples of previous events:

  • In-person day seminar in Drammen "Research on game and play in education"
  • Discussion of research article: Nørgård, Toft-Nielsen & Whitton (2017). Playful learning in higher education: developing a signature pedagogy.
  • Presentation and discussion "The definition of game"

In addition, members can freely ask questions or launch discussions in the Teams room. If you have an idea for a meeting or a topic you would like to discuss, feel free to take initiative.
