Through curious mindsets and surprising features players, designer, learners, and innovators are moved to new types of perspectives, approaches, beliefs, and routines. This is considered to be a vital ingredient in the 21st century and in the coming decade because of rapid changes in school sectors and industry markets. Framing Play Design provides operational design guidelines on how to find strong balances in the making of specific play-based designs as well as how to involve users and stakeholders in the process of play design making. Durch neugierige Denkweisen und überraschende Eigenschaften werden Spieler, Designer, Lernende und Innovatoren zu neuen Arten von Perspektiven, Ansätzen, Überzeugungen und Routinen bewegt. Dies gilt aufgrund der rasanten Veränderungen in den Schulsektoren und Industriemärkten als ein wichtiger Bestandteil des 21. Jahrhunderts und der kommenden Dekade. Framing Play Design bietet operative Gestaltungsrichtlinien, wie man starke Gleichgewichte bei der Entwicklung spezifischer spielbezogener Designs findet und wie man Benutzer und Interessengruppen in den Prozess der Spielplanung einbezieht.

Zusammenfassung

This book provides operational design guidelines on how to find strong balances in the making of specific play-based designs as well as how to involve users and stakeholders in the process of play design making. Through curious mindsets and surprising features, designers, learners and innovators are moved to new types of perspectives, approaches, beliefs and routines.

For many decades, play has been placed outside of learning spheres and only meant for children. What can be observed now is a revival of the phenomenal characteristics and potentials found in strong play experiences across life-long learning target groups and applied situations as well as broadly in the product, service and experience development industry. The effect play can have on participants and surroundings can be extremely effective. This book provides operational design guidelines on how to find strong balances in the making of specific play-based designs as well as how to involve users and stakeholders in the process of play design making. Through curious mindsets and surprising features, designers, learners and innovators are moved to new types of perspectives, approaches, beliefs and routines. This is considered to be a vital ingredient in the 21st century and of the coming decade because of rapid changes in school sectors and industry markets. This book provides frameworks and theories at a more operational level, which can guide those interested in designing for particular play experiences at a hands-on level.
