Project Overview
To take the Playmaker’s Playbook curriculum and resources designed by the Play360 team and turn it into an online learning experience accessible to individuals worldwide. Then, to teach the course facilitators and Play360 team how to manage the LMS to run and further update the course.

Courses provide learners with instructional videos, tools, downloadable resources, and a Play360 mentor to bring their Playmaker projects to fruition. These courses are hosted in Learnworlds LMS.
The Learning Experience
150 + students have enrolled in the course.
New Playmakers empowered to complete their projects
Play360 Team members trained to manage the course LMS and program.
The Outcomes
“We couldn’t have been luckier to have found Gitanjali to support us in developing the playmaker course. She not only supported us in the technical aspects but was able to guide our pedagogy and practice in designing this course for our audience. We highly recommend and look forward to working together again. Thank you!”
— Nicole Swedlow, Managing Director at Play360
“Working with Gitanjali has been a pleasure and a learning in itself, her seriousness, organization, and availability have been crucial not only for the visible results on the learning platform, but also for the internal organization of the team…All the feedback received from the students about the navigation of the course has been extremely positive, the organization of contents, the ease of navigation, the combination between videos and texts.”
