We do not cease to play because we grow old. We grow old because we cease to play!
- George Bernard Shaw
Games instead of a keynote? Would my line manager think it was worth allowing me to attend? I can guarantee not Too frivolous for an academic degree
programme
How do we persuade colleagues, departmental heads and senior management that they are a worthy addition to the menu?
I valued gaining an insight into games as a way of teaching and learning. I have previously felt very resistant towardsthis but for the first time I was able to see how it could be done and that it had value.
games are not my forte!the gaming theme was silly and uninteresting
I don't like being forced into playing games
Winning hearts & mind
Staff attitudes find a problem that needs fixing Involve as many staff as possible

Environments that encourage
NEWLearning Environment
Creative learning is intrinsic in the AGLC. It
permeates the building, it is on its walls in
the student artwork, it is in the different
kinds of study space and furniture. The
environment that has been created goes
further even then that, working there
encourages us to experiment with
different approaches to learning delivery
