It provides readers with the Ludic Pedagogy model, together with how instructors can employ the elements of the model - play, playfulness, and positivity - in the courses that they teach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is grounded in empirical research so that readers can appreciate why each element of the Ludic Pedagogy model contributes to increased learning and student wellbeing. It also offers examples, practical advice, and guidance on how faculty can employ activities and attitudes so that students have more memorable, meaningful, and valuable educational experiences in college\/university. In order to win over the elbow-patched-blazer-wearing professoriate, we specifically address why the ludic mindset, and having fun, is compatible with \"serious\" academic work.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharon Lauricella\u003c\/b\u003e is the inaugural Teaching Scholar in Residence at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
