There is still a week or two left of the Futurelearn MOOC, Exploring Play, which looks at play from many perspectives (memories of play, play and disability, physical play spaces, virtual spaces etc.) Although there is more about young people and play, it does address play at different life stages, including as adults. Last week the discussions and material were about virtual play. I discussed various aspects of play and living in the 3D virtual world, Second Life. Chris Bailey talked about his fascinating research on Minecraft "The diversity of social play in a Minecraft club", and he has blogged about the experience:
