Attendees included representatives from UAL, universities across London and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The morning session centred on a panel discussion on the theme of \u2018The Value of Playful Making\u2019 facilitated by Dave White, the Dean of Academic Strategy for UAL and a Re:Play Co-Investigator, with Re:Play Principal Investigator Nic Whitton, Justin Spooner (Director of the education consultancy Unthinkable Digital), and Martin Newth (Head of the School of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art). As the panel offered their thoughts, attendees contributed to a collaborative wall of text in response to the discussion, before participating in a Q&amp;A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"564\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-1.png 902w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-1-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-1-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Wall of text created during the morning panel discussion<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discussion ranged from the power relations around establishing, enacting, and at times breaking the rules of play, the importance of establishing safe lusory spaces and breaking down the perception that games aren\u2019t sufficiently \u2018serious\u2019 for creative higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon session, Georgia Steele, (Head of Design and Development at UALO), gave a presentation on&nbsp;<em>Making playful learning online. S<\/em>he noted the inherently creative nature of lusory spaces, drawing on Susan Orr\u2019s writings on the \u2018sticky curriculum\u2019. She described some of the basic structures necessary for creative, playful learning experiences including inspiration, motivation, safety and fun, and outlined how UALO is exploring \u2018learning patterns\u2019, taking inspiration from Diana Laurillard\u2019s conversational framework and pattern languages used by Christopher Alxander and others in architecture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia then introduced five playful activities co-designed with colleagues from the UALO Learning Design team members Monty King, Wajahat Afzal, Jemima Collins and Ian Truelove (Research and Innovation Coordinator for UALO), which encouraged delegates to engage in some serious play. Delegates formed small groups and played with a deck of cards designed by Ian for the symposium, featuring key concepts from playful learning, creative arts education, as well as a series of image prompt cards inspired by the creative arts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"902\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-2.png 902w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-2-768x577.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: A selection of play cards used in the symposium activities.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playful activities included using the cards as prompts for broader discussions, a structured game with the aim of developing a sequence of creative online learning incorporating a set of concepts, a tongue-in-cheek game of \u2018snog\/marry\/avoid\u2019 encouraging critical reflection, and a \u2018DIY\u2019 activity table encouraging participants to construct an artefact using the cards as inspiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cb1de518 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-3.png 408w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-3-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"408\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-4.png 408w, https:\/\/research.northumbria.ac.uk\/replay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Picture-4-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Above: Symposium delegates engaging with the playing cards in activities with variations on play.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The symposium provided a productive space for discussion and collaboration on adopting playful approaches to online creative education, and participants came away with plenty of ideas for further exploration. I really enjoyed the opportunity to present novel workshop activity ideas exploring the intersection of play, creative arts and online spaces. All too often this involves trying to reimagine in-person learning experiences online, whereas the symposium tackled this with online learning to the fore. Professor Whitton commented that it was a great opportunity to explore play within an environment which was both lusory and creative. As part of the afternoon activities, Nic prototyped a giraffe-themed video game to be released later in the year (patent pending).&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 24
