- CF the positive construction of failure - support for learners to immerse themselves in the spirit of play -and the development of intrinsic/internal motivation to engage with learning activities ā this creates what is called the magic circle
- CF āmagic circleā was originally coined by Huizinga (1955) as an example ofĀ a space in which play happens, and later expanded by Salen and Zimmerman (2004) as a way of explaining how people construct relationships and realities during play.
- CF Text in image: We will play, innovate, and creatively share knowledge By incorporating playful approaches and spaces ā open, dynamic, and creative ā organisations will be able to āthink creatively, question old assumptions, respond effectively to the unexpected, and engage all participantsā talents in collaborationā (Meyer, 2010). Our Information Services Group (ISG) staff are innovative and creative, and have developed a variety of fun, creative, and engaging ways to provide and deliver our technologies and services. We want to ensure that this continues and that ISG fosters an environment, and culture, where innovation, playful learning, and creative engagement are embedded in our practices. This is in line with the Universityās aim to offer an educational experience that is inspiring, challenging, and transformational. Information services and technologies are core to the normal operation of the University, and vital to the enhancement and transformation of learning, teaching and research. Encouraging innovation and creativity among staff and students and embedding playfulness into the working culture is one of the ways ISG seeks to meet the Universityās vision towards 2025 in which [we] āwill ensure we make a sustained and enhanced global impact through an approach shaped by innovations and excellenceā. layful Engagement goals Facilitate the development of playful innovators, researchers, and creators Promote creative, playful, and innovative use of technologies and tools in ISG services Utilise our world-class libraries and collections in innovative and engaging ways to enrich our services Support a healthy work life balance, and a positive and engaging work environment This work is licensed under aĀ Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

- CF Image Text Reads: Flexible IT Spaces IT labs are increasingly being sought for use other than open access study, these spaces are also being used to deliver IT teaching, training and online exams. Presenting to students in traditional IT Labs requires a large amount of AV technology which is not always suitable for every type of space. Over the summer of 2018 our enthusiasticĀ Student Intern, Anirudh Gangwal, experimented with new ways to allow screen sharing between Tutors and Students in a standard Lab, evaluating solutions and engaging with potential users. The outcome of this work will be a pilot of a screen sharing and collaboration solution byĀ Splashtop for Semester Two 18/19. For updates and progress on the pilot click on the link below to the Teaching Spaces pages. Digital Skills and Lynda.com Lynda.com is an online skills development service offering an extensive library of over 250,000Ā high quality video tutorialsĀ in digital, technology, creative and business skills. Students and staff (non-visiting) benefit from free access to this resource whilst studying or working at the University of Edinburgh. In addition to providing the service,Ā Lynda.comĀ is also incredibly useful for updating our own ISG skills and services. Our Interactive Content team has written a great blog post about how Interactive Content Developer, Jackie Aim, used Lynda.com to refresh and improve her 3D modelling skills and then ran a workshop for the rest of their team.
