Notas del editor
- Hi I’m Sande Chen. I am the co-author of the book Serious Games Games That Educate Train and Inform. I work as a consultant on serious game and I come from the entertainment game industry, where I have worked as a writer, a designer, and a producer on projects, big and small, for various platforms, including Facebook, console, Web, PC, and mobile. In addition, I have experience working on a gamification project.
- My topic today is on serious games and gamification. I confess when I first heard of gamification, I thought it was just another way to say serious games – that they were interchangeable I believe that there is confusion and rightly so, between these two terms. They seem to have the same purpose: Both seem to be methodologies that incorporate gameplay mechanics to increase motivation, solidify learning objectives, and spark overall engagement in non-entertainment fields. I have heard others say serious games are a subset of gamification or vice versa. That Serious Games are open-ended simulations whereas gamification are games, or that serious games has no real-world application and is truly in the theoretical realm whereas gamification is the practice of applying game theory to non-entertainment fields. Still others say to me, it’s just a marketing term. Gamification sounds WAY BETTER than serious games.
- Is it marketing?
- Term came about at that time because serious game developers wanted to be taken “seriously.” And if you said the word “GAME” then people in those non-entertainment fields, [especially education or the military], thought games were not serious, were not useful, were frivolous pasttimes for kids.
- Skill transfer, knowledge transfer, attittude transfer…. To deliver a message, teach a lesson, provide an experience. BY INTENTION, or INTENT Contrast bet/ Entertainment Games -- frivolous
- Expanded definition – game technology, reappropriation of existing entertainment games. Definition of Serious Games since then has broadened
- Progress bar, feedback mechanisms.
- FURTHER YOUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES (whether it’s to promote TV shows, or shopping, or an online community)
- Anorexia – self-identity, treatment of phobias and anxiety This is a woman who had physical improvement despite not being able to stand on her own. She watched and controlled her avatar in SL perform tai chi exercises each morning as a daily routine.
- Cross between fitocracy and chore wars – gamification “ Glorified pedometer” “gamification can only take you so far” --
- Quests are transparent. The only game terminology that’s being used is “quest” You could also call it “workout” schedule.
- Research Goals. Straight Out Extrinisic Motivation. Decorate Your House. To Buy Power-Ups
- Fitocracy naysayer – because fitocracy emphasizes community interaction, it’s more about people talking about fitness rather than going out and doing anything about being fit.
