Educational programs designed to bridge the digital divide for girls often aim to increase girls’ technological literacy. However, little research has examined what aspects of technological literacy are highlighted in these programs. In this article, I provide a case study of a video game design workshop hosted by a girls’ advocacy organization ...

Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology, 2016
Participatory Sensing, i.e. collaboratively taking sensor measurements with mobile devices in a Citizen Science fashion, has become increasingly popular. Because such scenarios often require a critical mass of users, applying gamification to different areas in order to increase user engagement has been proposed. However, existing attempts often default

This chapter covers the topic of creating the design of a serious game. It first presents background information on games in general, and how they create engagement in particular—essential for serious games. The actual design process is similar to designing entertainment games; however, it differs when it comes to integrating the serious content itself.

Game Designers’ Perspectives: Interception between Games and Educational Games Design
European Conference on Games Based Learning, 2022Games and Educational Games(EGs)! To what extent do they diverge? How do game designers approach such apposition? The extensive need for games in and outside classrooms demands clarity between games and EGs through game designers’ perspectives. In the Australian context, game designers have witnessed technological advancement, the user-expectation, and

IEEE Transactions on Computational Intelligence and AI in Games, 2012
This paper explores notions of elegance and shibui in combinatorial game design, and describes simple computational models for their estimation. Elegance is related to a game's simplicity, clarity, and efficiency, while shibui is a more complex concept from Japanese aesthetics that also incorporates depth.

Designing Games for Distributed Optimization
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, 2011The central goal in multiagent systems is to design local control laws for the individual agents to ensure that the emergent global behavior is desirable with respect to a given system level objective. Ideally, a system designer seeks to satisfy this goal while conditioning each agent's control law on the least amount of information possible ...

Proceedings of the Third Conference on GenderIT, 2015
A study of 48 completed Frogger games created by middle school students using the Scalable Game Design curriculum were studied to determine how completion rates varied based on race and gender. Results to a student survey administered to the same sample was also analyzed to compare those who completed fully functioning games to those whose games were ...

Designing Universally Accessible Games
Computers in Entertainment, 2009Today, computer games are one of the major sources of entertainment. Computer games are usually far more demanding than typical interactive applications in terms of motor and sensory skills needed for interaction control, due to special-purpose input devices, complicated interaction techniques, and the primary emphasis on visual control ...
