Public Interest Gaming by Alan Gershenfeld
Here is a nice presentation by Alan Gershenfeld covering some the discussion points around public interest gaming which were discussed at the Game Developers Conference 2010 in San Francisco.
Get your head in the game
As a Digital PR firm we use several techniques to get the attention of journalists, but there's one of them that I haven't seen being used a lot by brands outside of digital PR and that's games.
You might think that a game is not suitable for every type of product, but during my talk I'll show several examples on how you can advertise your brand and grab the attention of your audience and the media by "gamifying" your content.
Moreover, we'll explore ways of taking the games further and make them into data that you can outreach and also how to make this content evergreen.

Scrum planning poker, principles of the game
Planning poker is a consensus-based technique for estimating effort or relative size of development tasks. It involves the following key principles:
1. Accept uncertainty in software projects and use relative story point estimates rather than precise hours to account for intangible factors.
2. Estimates are derived through group discussion where estimators must justify their cards, leading to more accurate estimates that factor in an average of individual views.
3. The document outlines seven principles for effective planning poker, including keeping estimates at a granular level, focusing only on the current sprint without long-term planning, using a question mark card when more information is needed, and being willing to finalize estimates when consensus is reached.
The Psychology of Computer Programming
The document summarizes key points from the 1971 book "The Psychology of Computer Programming" by Gerald M. Weinberg. It discusses how egoless programming increases productivity by not allowing programmers to "own" programs. It also advocates for an agile approach, noting requirements often change during development. Finally, it outlines traits of successful programmers, like adaptability and humility, and emphasizes the importance of being willing to learn from mistakes.

Learning to Make Your Own Reality - IGDA Education Keynote 2009
What new kinds of games will we play in the future, and what key knowledge and skills will game developers need to invent them? Futurist and game designer Jane McGonigal argues that over the next decade, games will become a powerful interface for managing our real work, organizing society, and optimizing our real lives. Increasingly, she predicts, game developers will be charged with the task of making people happier, smarter, friendlier, greener, and healthier -- and hundreds of millions of new gamers will be playing together at home, at school, at work, and everywhere in between. The result? Game design and development expertise will become a sought-after talent in virtually every industry and field, from Fortune 500 companies to top government agencies. Indeed, the future is brighter for game developers than ever before. But making games that aim to improve our quality of life and to re-invent society as we know it will require a new set of design skills and content expertise beyond what we traditionally teach in game programs. In this keynote, you'll find out the top five design competencies (such as 'technology foresight' and the ability to generate and measure 'participation bandwidth') and the five most important subject areas (such as positive psychology and mass collaboration) for this new class of reality-changing game developers.
The key takeaway of this talk: We can live in any world we want but only if we teach the next generation of game developers what they need to know in order to imagine and make new and better realities.

Evelien Roos - Using Brain Science To Keep Your Scrum Events Alive
Inspired by the 6 trumps of Sharon Bowmans’ Training From the Back of The Room, there will be an exploration on how one can use Brain Science to keep Scrum Events live, active and worthwhile.
To get the most out of the Scrum Events she tried a lot of things. She experimented with formats and setups. Did a Facilitator training and looked for interesting games and Sprint Retrospective formats. But she never looked further than that. Until she did the Training From the Back of The Room and was intrigued by how the brain works in a training and learning setting.
Learning more about the human brain she figured out one could also use Brain Science to keep the Scrum Events alive and worthwhile.
In this session one will learn about neuroscience and how you can use it to activate your brain and make your Scrum Events alive and active.

Video Games Can Make You Smarter
The document discusses research on the cognitive benefits of playing video games for older adults. The Gains Through Gaming Lab studies commercially available video games and aims to identify those that can improve memory and cognition in adults. Their research has found that video games requiring sustained attention, task switching, and social interaction can produce cognitive gains for older adults. A study they conducted found that older adults who played World of Warcraft for over 14 hours on average showed improvements on cognitive tests compared to a control group. The researchers argue that video games show potential as a non-traditional intervention for age-related cognitive decline.

Gamification in Digital Marketing
1. Gamification is the use of game mechanics and game design techniques in non-game contexts to engage users and solve problems. Simply making a branded game is not gamification.
2. Gamification basics include using points, levels, badges, leaderboards, and rewards to motivate users through fun, loyalty programs, and achieving status. It appeals to different player types like explorers, achievers, socializers, and killers.
3. Examples show gamification can increase engagement, trial usage, buy clicks, and revenue through integrating gameplay into the user experience on websites, apps, and social media to achieve business goals.
Gamification - ASTD RTA
Gamification uses game mechanics and design principles to engage learners and motivate behavior in non-game contexts like education. It works by rewarding learners intrinsically when they experience wanting and liking through feedback. To design effective gamified learning, one should understand the audience, clearly define goals and objectives, provide frequent feedback on progress, reward effort through incremental rewards and adaptive systems, and incorporate elements of chance, peer interaction, and surprise. An iterative process of testing assumptions early allows for improvement.
