The Professors at Play ONLINE PlayBook collects over 50 techniques and strategies designed to make the online classroom more fun. Rooted in the concept of playful pedagogy, this anthology shares proven approaches to increasing student engagement and learning in higher education. The approaches range from simple ice breakers to get students involved in an online class to more complex approaches to teaching complex subjects and concepts. The Online PlayBook complements the original Professors at Play PlayBook, expanding the possibilities for play in the academy.

The Online PlayBook is the third in the Professors at Play PlayBook series, including the original PlayBook and the AI PlayBook. In each case, these books look to stimulate discussion, creativity and most of all play. Not so much cookbooks as inspirational travel guides for adventurous professors. We hope these publications empower you to take control of your own play in an academic setting!
