Under the Hood: How Federal Agencies Design Games
•Download as DOCX, PDF•
0 likes•51 views
Sometimes making games is messy business, even when you’re Uncle Sam. Come learn about some of the latest gaming projects coming out of the federal government, and how games are being used, designed, and enacted in the federal gaming space. From low budget space history games to big budget fiscal policy games, we will walk you through concept to creation and provide hands-on playing time with some of the games coming out of the federal agency realm. Game demos will be offered during the Q&A and as time allows. The approach may be different, but the end goal is the same: making learning fun. Tiffany Taylor Attaway will talk about how the State Department is using its “holodeck” to build immersive learning simulations that train Foreign Service Officers to use foreign language skills in critical job-related tasks.

Immersive multi-user decision training games with ARLearn
Talk at the EC-TEL 2014 presenting joint work from R. Klemke, S. Ternier, M. Kalz, B. Schmitz, M. Specht
The Value of Robotics for Surgery Training
Jeff Berkley PhD, CEO, Chairman & Founder | Mimic Technologies
The Value of Robotics for Surgery Training
Adopting new technologies can be very disruptive to operating room efficiency. This disruption is compounded when the technology is not easily accessible outside of the operating room for training. This is certainly the case for robot assisted surgery, which is gaining significant traction as an alternative to open surgery and traditional laparoscopic surgery.
Simulation training has proven to be an effective alternative to learning “real time” on patients in the operating room. Most high-risk disciplines, such as aerospace, aviation, hazmat and military, require simulation for training and high stakes testing. However, medicine has been slow to embrace simulation in a meaningful way. Most hospitals do not enforce a structured simulation training curriculum or simulation testing for privileging and credentialing. However, the C-Suites of many hospital systems are now looking to simulation as a means of increasing OR efficiency while reducing surgical risk and costs. We therefore may be less than a decade away from a time where simulation testing will be required for surgeons as it is for pilots.
Jeff Berkley, PhD, will present on efforts by Mimic Technologies to create a common simulation training platform for surgical robots. Mimic began developing simulation for Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci© robot in 2003 and has more recently adapted its simulation platform for use with many of the new robots pending FDA approval. Dr. Berkley will review current and future application of simulation to robot assisted surgery. The presentation will emphasize the utilization of data analytics for identifying and remediating high risk surgeons. Dr. Berkley will also discuss Mimic’s use of gamification for the purposes of encouraging surgeon engagement.

Finding Partners in Applied Research – A Case Study on Industry/Academic Collaboration
Sometimes financial, physical and content constraints on graduate programs force university researchers to be creative. This presentation talks about how FIEA faculty designed a class called GameLab to help expose students to Serious Games while simultaneously fostering lasting research and development partners outside traditional entertainment industry partners.
We will talk about how the development life cycle of a simple handheld game that teaches cleaning protocols for hospital janitors in the VA hospital network helped develop a template for how FIEA now finds and interacts with industry partners. It is a case study to show how a project can move from relationship to MVP to full-on build and deployment of a robust application in the context FIEA’s student centric curriculum. UCF’s Institute for Simulation and Training then finished the final product for delivery to the VA.

Designing Immersive Experiences that Create Empathy, Reveal Biases, Alter Min...
In this talk we discuss insights from designing and studying immersive experiences aimed at improving early literacy outcomes through personalized learning, spanning virtual, augmented and mixed realities as well as non-immersive applications. Our serious games provide research evidence into how these varied media can enable adults (teachers, school leaders, families, and caregivers) to implement personalized literacy learning at the organizational and individual level.
We will present lessons gained from designing experiences across immersive media such as 360 video, virtual environments with agents, mixed reality systems with human-in-the-loop characters (ex: Mursion https://mursion.com/), and augmented reality. We will also discuss approaches and takeaways for creating experiences intended to build empathy towards the unfamiliar (ex: our work on parents using VR to experience the world as young children with reading disabilities), experiences for detecting unconscious biases (ex: teachers educating a stimulated classroom of students in ways that may trigger innate biases), and experiences to contextually modify parental mindsets (ex: parents using augmented reality to alter their strategies for children’s literacy).
Overall, we will present general lessons from building simulated authentic situations in which teachers and parents learn to overcome challenges in early literacy development. We will pause our talk/lecture occasionally for questions that enable brief small group interactions.

Designing Memorable Games
This document summarizes a presentation about designing memorable games. The presentation discusses how human memory works, including that memories are based on experiences and situations rather than being like video recordings. It also reviews research findings on memory such as how forgetting takes more brain power than remembering. To be effective, games need to increase replay value, build on interactive elements, provide memorable experiences, and maintain consistency to be remembered. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the importance of designing games in ways that strengthen memory formation.

Learning Through Play: STEM Games in the Classroom
Attendees will understand how STEM games can be used in K-12 classroom settings. They will learn about an overview of games on the market, from elementary school through high school. They will then learn how to design simple games that can be used to convey a key STEM concept within one class period. By the end of the workshop attendees will have collaborated to produce paper prototypes of such games.
We hope to host these files as free online print-and-play games for teachers, as a service to the community.
I will lead attendees in a game design workshop for STEM games in K-12 education. After providing an overview of such games, we will play a sample of existing games on the market from a variety of companies. Then each table will brainstorm ideas based on age, subject matter, and game mechanics. They will produce paper prototypes by the end of the workshop, which they will present to the other members. Hopefully, if it’s possible, we/SPC could host these files as free online print-and-play games for teachers as a service to the community.

Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Jenn McNamara, Vice President | BreakAway Games
Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Serious game developers must consider client needs and constraints. To most, it is obvious that the end users’ desired training, behavior change, assessment, or experience outcomes shape the focus of the game. But the client organization’s funding, IT infrastructure, data needs, and personnel impact design as much, if not more, than end users’ needs.
This session will share experiences where these factors significantly impacted game design and make recommendations for identifying and addressing these needs early in the design process.

A Promise to Future Generations: Making Learning Fun
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in learning. It references studies from 1971, 1973, and 2001 on how extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation to learn. It notes that not enough time is spent considering why children want to learn and too much time is spent trying to force learning. The document suggests thinking about the principles of play to better motivate learning.
Lets make a game workshop ser play orlando 2019
This document outlines the schedule and process for a workshop on creating educational games. The workshop will guide participants through forming teams based on curriculum, conceptualizing a game concept around chosen curriculum concepts, prototyping the game through iterative playtesting and rule refinement, and reviewing the process and outcomes. The goal is for participants to gain experience applying a proven process for developing a game concept into a prototype to teach curriculum in an engaging way.

DOUBLE SESSION: OODA OODA! How Rapid Iteration Can Help Level Up Your Gaming Business
We are all involved in lots of complicated and complex situations. We deal with students and learning. We write, adapt, and use games for learning. We may be running businesses.
One thing that all of these have in common is that we can’t just come up with a plan, execute and expect things to just work smoothly. Unexpected things happen, it’s often impossible to anticipate all possible situations, people react in unanticipated ways, there is often information we just don’t or can’t know in advance, the people we are working with have hidden agendas. Allies, antagonists, and resources shift and change. And so on.
So, what are we supposed to do?
We are going to explore a framework for managing solutions during periods of dynamic change. The OODA Loop Framework was developed by air force colonel John Boyd based on precepts developed by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Heisenberg, Kyng, Einstein, Gödel, and others, and has been used by military, political, and business leaders around the world. You’ll learn to prepare for the unexpected, observe and react to actions and results, and pull together and manage a team despite adversity.

The UX of Serious Games: How to Impact a Wider Audience
What elements are you measuring when determining the value of your serious game?
There are many critical touchpoints a player (user) experiences that occur before, during, and after playing a game, from initial interest to post-game evangelism. Some serious game designs inadvertently block some users from ever playing. Some design elements can cause players to rage quit where others thrive. In this session we will explore three topics:
First, we will explore a complete user’s experience (UX) of a serious game.
Second, we will look closer at the users of serious games and break them into personas based on social, emotional, and cognitive differences in how they learn and how they play.
Third, we will explore how to merge instructional design with game design with activities that bridge the varied experiences different users can have when engaging with similar challenges. By breaking down the UX into touch points, breaking down users into personas, and mitigating gaps in the varied qualities of user experiences, you will likely improve your game analysis, game quality, and broaden your customer segments.

Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Stuart Criley presents on avoiding "bad tropes" in educational games. He discusses games that include puzzles that do not fit thematically, such as sorting soup cans to progress in a haunted house game. Criley urges developers to have a deep understanding of the topic and include authentic problems to engage students, rather than unrealistic scenarios like doing math in space. Developers must ensure educational games are worth the classroom time spent on them.

Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Dennis Glenn, MFA, Adjunct Professor| DePaul University Graduate School for New Learning / President | Dennis Glenn LLC
Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be considered.
Learning Objectives:
Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what the learner needs to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor.
Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks.
On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality and delivery.

Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Karen Burns, Asst. Coordinator of Faculty Development | The University of Alabama
Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Pervasive games are a burgeoning genre in which the affordances of mobile devices are used to extend the boundaries of digital games into the real world. This game genre leverages the GPS, photo, video, and texting capabilities of smart phone devices in order to create games that require location-dependent and context-sensitive interactions between the physical and virtual environments. One particular form of pervasive games is a digital scavenger hunt.
This presentation will focus on the findings of a study in which a digital scavenger hunt was integrated into new employee orientation. The goal of the study is to determine if a digital scavenger hunt can be an effective means of enhancing the typical employee orientation by reinforcing information provided during the face-to-face sessions, introducing new information, reducing the stress new employees typically feel, and fostering employee competence. While this study is ongoing, data collection and analysis will be completed by May 2019.
This session will report on the findings of this study and include a discussion of the successes and challenges of the study. Additionally, discussion will center on potential applications of a digital scavenger hunt being used as a means of learning through discovery.

EXCALIBUR: Creating a Story and Gaming Academy for Middle Schoolers – Hits and Misses
Wrapping up year two of the 8th grade elective, Excalibur, I will reflect on what went right, what went wrong, and what I plan to do next year.
Excalibur is an elective that aims to accomplish multiple educational and social goals — the primary being to provide students with a real-world experience and skillset that can transfer to any modern profession. Using the concept of forming a game-design company, and making all of the decisions necessary to have that company produce a successful game, students are able to identify and master a diverse selection of technical skills as well as public speaking, narrative creation, branding and marketing, sound effects and voice-overs, art from conception through animation, researching to insure authenticity, management, leadership and teamwork.

Simulating Patients for Healthcare Training: Appearance, Shape, Influence, and Awareness
This panel will provide an introduction and discussion about the medical needs and alternate approaches for simulating patients when engaging in the training of healthcare practitioners, e.g., nurses and physicians. Examples approaches will include using real humans (standardized patients), physical “mannequins” with varying degrees of robotic actuation and sensing, computer graphics-based virtual humans, and a novel approach to what we call physical-virtual humans. Among other things we will discuss the appearance, physical shape, environmental influence, and apparent awareness of each, along with the implications on healthcare training.

Games, Social Impact, and Student Outcomes
Randall Deich, STEM Coordinator | Lauderhill 6-12 School Board of Broward County
Games, Social Impact, and Student Outcomes
Developing games and web applications for social impact moves students from drills and assignments to authentic experiences that has led to community partnerships, internships, and employment opportunities.
Lauderhill 6-12, a Title 1 combo school in Broward County is where students develop online tools and games that address relevant needs of neighborhood families and the local community. Student motivation, excitement, and engagement have improved knowing that their original ideas can help others and with investor support original ideas can come to fruition. Student work has been recognized by Entertainment Software Association (ESA), Oracle Technologies, and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance.
Participants will hear and take away strategies on how to reduce obstacles, pilot programs, and build relationships in order to create a culture of creating through computer science. Participants will hear and take away strategies on how to take advantage of community resources, national events, non-profits and pipe them through a sieve of student interest and game development that results in a culture of games, apps, fun, and learning.
Notes:
Teaching in a Title 1 school has plenty of challenges for students and educators. The lives of our students address a glut of issues a lot more pressing than homework assignments; they have a lot more on their mind than common core standards. Having worked in Title 1 schools during my 26 years as an educator I believe in the power of creating and critical thinking through games, mobile apps, and web applications. By enabling and empowering students, I have been able to see the increase of motivation, engagement, and attendance. While this experience does not remove the weight of home issues, it does provide a source of ownership, accomplishment, and community. Participants will hear and take away strategies on how to reduce obstacles, pilot programs, and build relationships in order to create a culture of creating through computer science.

Augmenting Behavioral Health Provider Training in Second Life
Augmenting Behavioral Health Provider Training in Second Life
The document discusses augmenting behavioral health provider training through virtual worlds like Second Life. It notes barriers to implementing evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) like lack of training and support. Live, instructor-led workshops in Second Life have trained over 1,500 providers in EBPs since 2014. Evaluations found higher knowledge gains and readiness to use EBPs compared to face-to-face workshops, though implementation rates were mixed. Experiential learning through virtual worlds like Operation AVATAR and The Snoozeum museum can leverage gaming motivation to create more engaging and memorable EBP training.

Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Jenn McNamara, Vice President | BreakAway Games
Client-Centered Serious Game Design
Serious game developers must consider client needs and constraints. To most, it is obvious that the end users’ desired training, behavior change, assessment, or experience outcomes shape the focus of the game. But the client organization’s funding, IT infrastructure, data needs, and personnel impact design as much, if not more, than end users’ needs.
This session will share experiences where these factors significantly impacted game design and make recommendations for identifying and addressing these needs early in the design process.

A Promise to Future Generations: Making Learning Fun
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in learning. It references studies from 1971, 1973, and 2001 on how extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic motivation to learn. It notes that not enough time is spent considering why children want to learn and too much time is spent trying to force learning. The document suggests thinking about the principles of play to better motivate learning.
Lets make a game workshop ser play orlando 2019

Scott Brewster, Co-Founder & CTO | Triad Interactive Media / Hats & Ladders
DOUBLE SESSION: OODA OODA! How Rapid Iteration Can Help Level Up Your Gaming Business
We are all involved in lots of complicated and complex situations. We deal with students and learning. We write, adapt, and use games for learning. We may be running businesses.
One thing that all of these have in common is that we can’t just come up with a plan, execute and expect things to just work smoothly. Unexpected things happen, it’s often impossible to anticipate all possible situations, people react in unanticipated ways, there is often information we just don’t or can’t know in advance, the people we are working with have hidden agendas. Allies, antagonists, and resources shift and change. And so on.
So, what are we supposed to do?
We are going to explore a framework for managing solutions during periods of dynamic change. The OODA Loop Framework was developed by air force colonel John Boyd based on precepts developed by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Heisenberg, Kyng, Einstein, Gödel, and others, and has been used by military, political, and business leaders around the world. You’ll learn to prepare for the unexpected, observe and react to actions and results, and pull together and manage a team despite adversity.

Birdie Champ, BS, M.Ed., Ed.S, Owner, Chief Product Officer | UXDiversity and Thorne Palmer, BA, M.Ed
The UX of Serious Games: How to Impact a Wider Audience
What elements are you measuring when determining the value of your serious game?
There are many critical touchpoints a player (user) experiences that occur before, during, and after playing a game, from initial interest to post-game evangelism. Some serious game designs inadvertently block some users from ever playing. Some design elements can cause players to rage quit where others thrive. In this session we will explore three topics:
First, we will explore a complete user’s experience (UX) of a serious game.
Second, we will look closer at the users of serious games and break them into personas based on social, emotional, and cognitive differences in how they learn and how they play.
Third, we will explore how to merge instructional design with game design with activities that bridge the varied experiences different users can have when engaging with similar challenges. By breaking down the UX into touch points, breaking down users into personas, and mitigating gaps in the varied qualities of user experiences, you will likely improve your game analysis, game quality, and broaden your customer segments.

Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games
Stuart Criley presents on avoiding "bad tropes" in educational games. He discusses games that include puzzles that do not fit thematically, such as sorting soup cans to progress in a haunted house game. Criley urges developers to have a deep understanding of the topic and include authentic problems to engage students, rather than unrealistic scenarios like doing math in space. Developers must ensure educational games are worth the classroom time spent on them.

Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Dennis Glenn, MFA, Adjunct Professor| DePaul University Graduate School for New Learning / President | Dennis Glenn LLC
Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment
Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be considered.
Learning Objectives:
Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what the learner needs to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor.
Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks.
On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality and delivery.

Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Karen Burns, Asst. Coordinator of Faculty Development | The University of Alabama
Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt
Pervasive games are a burgeoning genre in which the affordances of mobile devices are used to extend the boundaries of digital games into the real world. This game genre leverages the GPS, photo, video, and texting capabilities of smart phone devices in order to create games that require location-dependent and context-sensitive interactions between the physical and virtual environments. One particular form of pervasive games is a digital scavenger hunt.
This presentation will focus on the findings of a study in which a digital scavenger hunt was integrated into new employee orientation. The goal of the study is to determine if a digital scavenger hunt can be an effective means of enhancing the typical employee orientation by reinforcing information provided during the face-to-face sessions, introducing new information, reducing the stress new employees typically feel, and fostering employee competence. While this study is ongoing, data collection and analysis will be completed by May 2019.
This session will report on the findings of this study and include a discussion of the successes and challenges of the study. Additionally, discussion will center on potential applications of a digital scavenger hunt being used as a means of learning through discovery.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
