We investigated how the course redesign of activities and assessments fostered multiple ways of teaching and learning with games, digital media and play. The authors created a role-playing card game for designing digital games for learning. We used this game in the classroom, and observed that learners adopted a lusory attitude in their design and gaming task. We discuss our overall redesign emphasis on learners’ gameful participation and the preliminary findings from the classroom adoption of the card game.enGamefulnessLusory AttitudeRole-Playing GameDesign Principlesunknown10.11575/PRISM/5328
