3. Serious fun

Sarah Honeychurch works in Academic and Digital Development at the University of Glasgow. She has a PhD in participatory learning, which taught her about the importance of play for creativity and for authentic learning and this is where she coined the phrase “serious fun” to describe enjoyable and authentic learning experiences. She enjoys connecting with likeminded lifelong learners in online communities and collaborating in practices of digital remix with her fellow bricoleurs. Sarah and her husband live in Glasgow and are owned by two cats called Cagney and Lacey. When she is not playing around on the Internet she enjoys doodling, knitting, and playing one of her many ukuleles very badly. Her current research interests are participatory learning, lurkers, affinity networks, and bricolage. You can find how to connect with Sarah via https://about.me/sarahhoneychurch
