Ever since reading about John Heron’s ‘up-hierarchy’ of delight, with his wonderfully expressive language, I have been enjoying adding new elements (although disregarding for now their connection, except as a list). I have made a poster of them and will be talking about them (if chosen to speak) at the TeachMeet in Redbridge on Monday 19th May.
The idea is that they are a source of explanation and stimulus for designing delight into teaching & learning.
Why do we like playing games on the computer? – perhaps because high quality and visually seductive graphics offer ‘appreciation’ and the many choices and their consequences feed ‘zest’.
Why do we like learning together? – perhaps because we get ‘conviviality’, ‘recognition’ and ‘controversy’.
Why do we persist when learning is tough? – perhaps because there is ‘interest’, ‘recognition’ and ‘resolution.
Is this all too obvious? Or do you, like me, want to put this poster on your wall to keep it fresh in your mind?

Your next challenge is to turn this into a memorable acronym 🙂
