Abstract
The article takes its part of departure in 6 distance education courses for librarians in Denmark. The subject was how to use the Internet. The author discovered that some librarians started to play. They were shamed about this fact. Is it okay to play when you are on your job? Is it not stupid to pay for a course where you just play? Do you learn anything? With this background the articles pose the following question: Will librarians start to play when they get access to a virtual learning space? Before the question is answered, the author explores and develops the concept of playing. The concept is considered from different angles e.g. society, work, education, philosophy and theories of learning. New models are presented in the article. The theoretical exercises are followed by the real cases (the courses), which are related to the theoretical findings. In the end the article will provide the reader with some practical hints of how to build a virtual playground and how to be a good playmate. When the subject is related to Internet, one of the conclusions is that the virtual playground results in better learning compared to traditional face-to face courses.
