Concept arising from:- Serious games

- Serious games are simulations of real-world events or processes designed for the purpose of solving a problem. Although serious games can be entertaining, their main purpose is to train or educate users, though it may have other purposes, such as marketing or advertisement

- Pervasive games- A pervasive game is one where the gaming experience is extended out in the real world,[1] or

where the fictive world in which the game takes place blends with the physical world.

- Alternative reality- alternative reality is a hypothetical or fictional self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own

- Playful reality- the architects of the new virtual reality are inventing a world you never imagined: call it the playful

world.- It's a world of interactive, Web-based toys that instantly collapse the gulf between wish and existence,

space and time, animate and inanimate. It's a world where the entire fabric of the material world becomes manipulable, programmable, mutable. Situated at the crossroads of high technology and popular culture, the playful world is taking shape at the speed of electronic creativity.

MINDBLOOM APPSMindBLOOM Life game

“Teaches you how to live better!”

that is it aims to improve the quality of life of the players in a simple and effective way by rewarding them for doing the things that are really important..

Examples of Gamification

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezZxHCYezqM

Page 13: 1. Gamification: from Game design to Digital Game-Based Learning

MindBLOOM Life game

The idea is to grow the life you want by thinking about it a few minutes a day.

It aims at inspiring people to define what is important to them, discover what motivates them, and to take meaningful daily actions in all areas of their lives.

It’s an example of the gamification trend, which uses game-like mechanics in non-game applications. But in this case, Mindbloom’s aim is to gamify life itself.

Examples of Gamification

MindBLOOM Life game

That tree is a visual representation of your priorities and progress in matters such as health, lifestyle, career, creativity, relationships, finances and spirituality. • The tree represents the life that you want• The sun represents inspiration and • the rain is about daily actions

Example of Gamification

MindBLOOM Life game

the users get an e-mail reminding them of their aim to train their mind to work for them and not against them

They can update their action on the smart phone

For each action collected the user receives a rain drop that will be showered on the tree, for each goal one earns seeds

The community of friends help supporting the goals, one can water and seeds and give sun to friends trees

One can add friends and search then on the network

CloudApp

SuMO has created an app for engaging employee in sustainability initiatives and drive behaviour changes. It companies the power of social network, games mechanics (this in research terms is called Gamification) and the sustainability aims, which support the accelerated achievement of Corporate sustainability goals and the associated costs savings..

Example of Gamification

CloudApp

Each employee has is own personalised view of how they are on target with:

1. the company sustainability view

2. his/her own personal progress

3. It suggests actions which are relevant to the employee (e.g. use video conferencing more).

4. A competitive element is provided by an employee chart where one can see how s/he has scores as compared to other people in a similar role.

PROS AND CONS OF GAMIFICATION

Rewards and recognitions earned during game play must be carefully considered The users usually initially like the game, but they tend to

withdraw if they don’t continue to get praise and appreciation or if it feels like the expectations keep going up and up and up with too little reward.

Over the last few years, we've seen a massive uptake of social technology. Major vendors hoping to turn retail into a richer online experience

customers will spend less on other things and begin to avoid going to the mall for shopping as recreation (e.g. eBay).

The risk is that the player might forget s/he is playing with real money and not monopoly money.

PROS AND CONS OF GAMIFICATION

Gamification provides metricsEverything is made clear , like game rules, and provided with a structure that is simple to understand when it comes to success and rewards

A trainer or educator just how a user or participant is progressing through a particular process by looking at scores and feedback

Ethical considerations

Balancing Metrics with Real Engagment “I want the game, and its mechanics, to help them develop a

love for and curiosity about history, rather than a love for the points or badges they can earn for getting the ‘so-called’ facts correct”

PROS AND CONS OF GAMIFICATION

Gamification creates competitions this can be both positive and negative

Balancing Metrics with Real Engagment “I want the game, and its mechanics, to

help them develop a love for and curiosity about history, rather than a love for the points or badges they can earn for getting the ‘so-called’ facts correct”

PROS AND CONS OF GAMIFICATION Cost vs individualized instructions

A fully game-based curriculum represents a substantial increase in cost over standard book/paper/pencil education.

Each student can work toward mastering at their own pace

Distraction from other objectives

The idea that playing games pulls learners from other more valuable skills must also be addressed. Games can be limited in their content and the context that they present for learning.

Page 24: 1. Gamification: from Game design to Digital Game-Based Learning

PROS AND CONS OF GAMIFICATION Social isolation vs technology litteracy

One of the biggest ongoing criticisms of games, and technology in general, is that it promotes anti-social behavior and isolates individuals.

The focus of most new games is in social play. While players may not be interacting face-to-face they are interacting nonetheless.

Shortened attention span vs Multitasking mentality

Criticism to all modern media. New technologies have often rapid pace of action and the immediate feedback can make people expect the same kinds of fast-paced, instantaneous response of all things.

However, with average completion times of 40 hours of intense concentration and problem solving, games do promote sustained focus, just in non-traditional ways!!
