Abstract: Abstract Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) instructors often use written discussion forum posts to initiate the course and to onboard their learners. To improve and expand on this practice, we adapted “warm-up games” from the context of design thinking and improvisational theatre to the discussion forum format of three MOOCs. In this chapter we describe how we set up these visual, interactive and purposeful games and explain or aims in implementing them. We conclude that warm-up games help to boost discussion forum usage and warm-up game activity may be used as an indicator for high assignment performance.
