Gaming in the classroom
Jeff Pelich's presentation at ECOO 2012 on engaging boys in learning through the use of video games.
Proposal
This proposal outlines a new game called Candy Invaders that merges the popular games Candy Crush and Space Invaders. The game aims to entertain players aged 16+ of all genders and social statuses by having them shoot candy aliens as a spaceship to score points, drawing elements from both source games. Research was conducted on three different games to inform colors, characters, backgrounds and objects used in Candy Invaders. The proposal argues the game will not offend as it contains no offensive material and draws from public games, while putting a unique spin to avoid copyright issues.
Ipad presentation
This document discusses the various educational uses and capabilities of the iPad in classroom settings. It outlines several apps that teachers can use for subjects like art, science, literature, music, and social studies. Potential classroom tools mentioned include eClickers, drawing apps, measurement apps, calculators, and dictionaries. The document also notes some challenges of using iPads in the classroom such as student learning curves, distractions, WiFi issues, and software limitations. It concludes by previewing upcoming features like iCloud, Photostream, iOS 5.0, Newsstand, messaging, and AirPlay mirroring.
Board games
Board games are games played with pieces that are placed on, removed from, or moved across a board. There are different types of board games, some that simulate real life and others that are more abstract. Board games have been played throughout history in most cultures and the oldest known board game dates back to 3300-2700 BC in Egypt. They became widely popular in the early 20th century. Now many board games are available as computer games or can be played online. Board games are a valuable tool for language learners as they help students practice word skills like identifying sounds, rhyming, synonyms and antonyms.

Talking Casual
This document summarizes a study on casual games conducted by researchers from the University of Tampere. The study examined definitions and discussions around casual games, analyzed over 60 casual games, and surveyed casual game players. Key findings included the wide range of meanings associated with "casual", differences between casual game players and hardcore gamers, and the potential future of casual multiplayer mobile games. The researchers concluded that designing casual game experiences requires considering many related factors beyond just gameplay.
User Experiences in Social Games
The document discusses research into social games on Facebook. It summarizes interviews with 18 Facebook users who play or have played social games. Key findings include: players see social games as casual time-killers rather than "real" games; motivation comes from relieving boredom and organizing in-game tasks; frustration arises from notification spam. The research aims to understand user experiences and inform theories and tools for designers.
Dr. Scott Nicholson. Level up! game design programs in libraries, abqla2015
This document discusses game design programs that can be implemented in libraries. It explains that game creation benefits learning by being an active process that teaches skills like programming, storytelling, and design thinking. Libraries are a good place for these programs because they engage people with library resources and bring diverse groups together. The document provides examples of digital and analog game formats and considerations for organizing game design workshops and working with schools. It concludes by sharing resources for learning more about game design education.
Gaming presentation
This document discusses how libraries can harness gaming to benefit patrons. It describes how gaming has been popular for over 30 years and can increase socialization and literacy while helping develop skills. Libraries are increasingly offering gaming options like Wii, board games, and video games to meet patron interests and develop skills like strategy, problem-solving, and reading maps and instructions. The document also outlines specific gaming programs libraries have implemented, like tournaments, family gaming nights, and using games for summer reading. It provides examples of best practices from libraries with large gaming collections and concludes with resources for further reading on gaming in libraries.

Fear of failure, fear of not being taken seriously, fear of
not being an expert or ‘knowing enough’ can halt and
obstruct learning at all levels. Charlie will be sharing
her experiences of creating a lusory attitude or playful
environment to empower learners (from
undergraduates to tenured staff) to experiment and
engage with copyright concepts and practices away
from fear and apprehension.
This is then followed with an interactive, games based learning OER Board Game Jam session.
2011 New Media Consoritium Conference Presentation
The document discusses serious games and their use for learning about social issues. Serious games are defined as games that prompt experiential learning through play in a way that fosters critical thinking and participation. Examples discussed include simulations that allow players to experience different lives, games that address issues like climate change and human rights, and alternate reality games that motivate players to take action in the real world. The document argues that serious games can effectively teach complex systems and motivate learning through identity and challenge-based gameplay.
Algorithms Pushed Me to the Dark Side: Questions for Procedural Rhetoric
Algorithms Pushed Me to the Dark Side: Questions for Procedural RhetoricUniversity of South Australlia
Ian Bogost’s concept of procedural rhetoric is a tantalising theory of the power and potential of computer games, especially serious games. Yet does this concept really distinguish games from other media? Can this concept be usefully applied to the design and critique of serious games? This paper explores the ramifications of games (particularly serious games) as procedural rhetoric and whether this concept is problematic, useful, inclusive, or better employed as a recalibrated meta-epistemic theory of serious games that persuade or suggest to the player that the game mechanics, game genre, or digitally simulated world-view is open to criticism and reflection.Computer & Video Game Archive @MLibrary
The document discusses the establishment of a Computer & Video Game Archive at the University of Michigan's Art, Architecture and Engineering Library. It provides justification for the archive by noting the growing academic interest in games. It outlines what materials will be collected, including both current and historical games, hardware, and supporting reference materials. The summary describes how the archive was planned and set up, including acquiring a dedicated space, and hiring staff. It provides some statistics on the archive's initial usage and impact.
Interactive Fiction and Game Design Using Inform7
Designing a good game involves sketching and storyboarding, storytelling and testing. Inform7 is a free tool that allows kids to create text-based adventure games using a programming language that is easy to learn and understand. Discover how we used Inform7 with fourth graders and high schoolers, implementing a game design framework modeled after the real world, to engage them in a rich design process that promoted deep learning and understanding.
A Framework and Taxonomy of Videogame Playing Preferences (CHI PLAY 17)
This document presents a framework for understanding player preferences in video games. The researchers conducted a survey to understand how much 196 participants were motivated by 66 common game design elements (such as resource management, puzzles, role-playing) and 20 game playing styles (such as solo play, watching streams, multiplayer). Factor analysis identified 9 groups of related game design elements and 5 groups of related game playing styles. For example, younger players preferred role-playing and action elements while older players preferred casual play. Men preferred strategic and competitive elements while women preferred artistic and casual elements. The framework can help designers tailor games to specific audiences and help researchers better understand player experiences.

Digital Devil Invasion Poster
This document summarizes research conducted on the global fanbase of the Megami Tensei video game franchise. The researcher conducted a cyberethnography study, which included participant observation on social media, surveys, interviews, and analyzing qualitative responses. Key findings include:
- The fanbase is spread globally but remains small compared to other JRPG franchises. Fans commonly interact online.
- Most fans are between 18-30 years old and were first exposed to the games online through wikis, playthrough videos, and fanart.
- Players enjoy the diverse gameplay styles, storylines, and challenge of different games in the franchise, though some prefer the newer Persona subseries.

Itis54onabusivegamedesign
This document summarizes an article about abusive game design presented at the FuturePlay 2010 conference. The authors, Douglas Wilson and Miguel Sicart, explore how some games are designed to be abusive towards players through unfair challenges, deception, or other means. They identify several genres of abusive design, including physical abuse, unfair challenges, lying to players, aesthetic abuse, and social abuse. While some players may find such games frustrating, the authors argue abusive design can be an intentional aesthetic choice by designers to create a certain type of gameplay experience. The document provides background on the authors and their interests in game design, ethics, and theory. It also presents potential discussion questions about abusive games and the relationship between usability and this design approach.
Leipzig eHumanities 23 October 2013 talk
1. The document discusses using virtual environments to teach history through interaction. It suggests examining games to understand why they are engaging, as games can provide interactive learning environments.
2. However, the author notes that while games are good at engagement, they often lack cultural significance present in history. The author provides some examples of both good and bad uses of games for history.
3. There are several problems discussed, such as a lack of incorporating inhabitants' points of view, incomplete usage of historical principles, and difficulties representing rituals and sensory aspects of history through current technology. The author suggests some potential solutions, such as role-playing as historical figures or modifying cities/events based on historical theories.
Memoir monopoly 2015
Title of Design
Memoir monopoly
The problem
Tools for the rehabilitation of the elderly living with dementia in Taiwan are imported from overseas or initially designed for children. Most of them are not appropriate for aged users. Most paper-made rehabilitation tools have the drawbacks of inflexible designs and of limited ability to stimulate the user. Because individual information could not be included easily, caregivers need a more customized, interactive tool which can meet the elderly and their needs, better reflecting their personal experience in the past.
Description of solution
We designed a highly flexible ‘reminiscing’ and touchable rehabilitation game on an all-in-one computer, with the user tokens on the surface for physical indications and game interactions. The platform can help to collect each individual’s personal photos and preferences at home, and then upload to the cloud. The individual contents were pulled together by the hosting occupational therapist, and then responsively create a unique monopoly map for the participants with proper level of difficulty to suit their personal experiences, increasing their interests and encouraging their recall of the past. Various cognitive stimuli, including watching movie clips, listening to favorite songs, and touching interactive games, help participants to experience a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in the rehab process. The record of the game process will be send to the cloud, and then analyzed the relevance between the materials that have been played. The result provides caregivers with recommended sources for future use in reminiscence activities for different groups.
Description of design process
We adapted the research-through-design paradigm and user-experience innovative design process to conduct the Memoir monopoly project. The process is the followings: First, user experience research (UXR) of the current tools used by the elderly living with dementia in rehabilitation revealed the need for a more interactive reminiscing game.
Second, based on UXR findings, we co-work with a software engineer to build working prototypes rapidly. By discussing with caregivers and therapists, we learn feedbacks from the users and move on to refine our design to meet their needs. After the iterative design process, we designed a highly flexible ‘reminiscing’ rehabilitation game on an all-in-one computer, which allows users to collect personal photos and preferences, and also allows them to create a customize game map for the elderly group with proper materials according to their own experiences.
Third, we conduct user experience test to examine our prototype. Memoir Monopoly was successfully brought into group rehab event at day care centers twice for a field test. Based on the observations and interviews of the therapist and caregivers, we found the elderly living with dementia in the test were more actively willing to share their stories, using their own
