SimAULA is a European Lifelong Learning Programme project aimed at offering a virtual medium for initial and lifelong teacher training. The project’s originality lies in the tool that its participants have designed, a simulation of the serious game variety which enables users (teachers in training, in this case) to put their skills into practice in an environment that faithfully recreates the reality of teaching. Additionally, as a simulation, SimAULA makes it possible to avoid the negative consequences that teachers’ actions could have in the context of a real classroom. Possibilities for SimAULA’s future development include enabling users to customise teaching scenarios, so that classroom activities can be steered towards work related to different values or ethical or social issues of interest within a given curriculum.

The Institute for Informatics Logics and Security Studies at the University at Albany is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to join The Cycles of Your Cognitive Learning, Engagement and Schema (CYCLES) Project. The CYCLES Project is a joint effort of communication, psychology, education, and computer science faculty at the University at Albany, SUNY, Colorado State University, and the University of Arizona. We aim to develop educational games and test game components to identify the optimum game that will teach students about cognitive biases in decision-making and help them learn to make better decisions.

Following my prior posts Serious Games To Foster National Dialogue About Judiciary System and Learning By Doing Civics Through Serious Games, the campaign to improve high-school civics education led by retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor received a boost last week when the Arizona Department of Education endorsed her web-based educational tool iCivics, which includes lesson plans and web quests, but the big draw being an impressive collection of Serious Games.

This post is about a new extended model of the Gamification Player Types that i developed with the guidance of Andrzej Marzcewski (@daverage) based on his previous framework.

Before starting with the characteristics and definitions of each player, i do want to focus on something that i consider, it is really important to take into account:
"Players are not always the same. Their roles and motivations change throughout the player´s journey, and our best hope is to make it endless in time"

In the old days, gamification meant changing something that wasn’t a game into a game. For example, you might have some kind of simulation that you would “gamify” by adding gameplay to it. The modern use is almost the complete opposite. Now, it means taking techniques from games and applying them to non-games. The result is a non-game that includes some game elements – but crucially NOT gameplay. If it did include gameplay, it would be a game; then we’d be talking “serious games” or “games for a purpose”.

The new multi-school cluster will co-locate teaching and research programs in games as a creative art form, game design, digital media design, computer science, and engineering – with each program retaining its department affiliation and school identity. It will include undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students from NYU and NYU-Poly. It will serve as the first space at NYU to co-locate faculty from different schools – including NYU-Poly, which will become the school of engineering at NYU in 2014 – creating a shared facility for collaborative teaching and research.

Unity may mostly be known for the focus on “fun and games.” But over the years the use of the platform has truly matured in the development of industry-defining game changers (pun intended) for serious games and virtual environments, from the military to education to medical.

This is an article taken from: IBM: Serious games for smarter skills: The future of learning. Games and the technologies have fundamentally changed the way we play. The players are older, the genres are broader, the games are much more advanced, immersive, and engaging. Companies today are integrating game mechanics and game-based learning into more and more everyday applications, also fundamentally changing the way we work today. Video games are widely used in a variety of disciplines such as behavior modification, autism therapy, leadership skill building, and strategic analysis.

In the modern classroom, teachers are always looking for ways to make learning fun and interesting. iPads, games, eLearning platforms and BYOD are all on the menu…. and let’s face it, technology (from DVD players to iPads) can make life a lot easier in the classroom.

It's often been a criticism of many attempts to make MMORPG computer games educational, that when that happens the fun goes. I have to say that it is often the case, but I think Power Up is an exception.

One word – Gamification – is being used to mean such a wide variety of end results. One company’s gamification looks nothing like another company’s gamification. This seems to raise a barrier when explaining gamification to companies who are looking for new marketing strategies and tactics.
I decided to study the various forms of Gamfication and see if I could come up with some basic classifications. My hope is that these classifications can form a logical way to communicate with those outside the game design paradigm to help them understand exactly what Gamfication is and to look at how it might be helpful to their own enterprises.

Serious games have been defined as games whose primary purpose is not entertainment but which have been developed for serious benefit or outcome. It includes entertainment games that have been intentionally re-purposed to deliver serious outcomes. This definition is not always helpful because it does not embrace the potential of technologies which create or use immersive experiences to deliver serious benefits. These applications may not use gameplay.
