WHAT ARE GAMES?
A game, whether analog or virtual, is a form or a system
designed for the purpose of play.
Play is an activity that allows us to experiment, repeat
behaviors without fear of failure, and make a series of
possible choices to render an experience meaningful.
Games are cultural artifacts that reflect and reveal
deeper cultural and social concerns.

LET’S PLAY! - STORY HERO

“Story Hero”

s puzzle:

be “activated” in order to solve the puzzle.
B. Explain the logical relationship between those

C. Does any part of the puzzle seem illogical? Why?

WRITING QUESTION - LITERARY ANALYSIS

B. Did you use cultural conventions (according to

ALL GAMES CAN BE USEFUL IN THE WAY YOU USE
THEM
● Games are artifacts with cultural and social contexts.
● Games can be used to teach any discipline, including
rhetoric and composition.
● As the activities for Story Hero demonstrate, one does
not have to use “serious games” or “educational
games” to teach complex ideas.
● Like images and news articles, games can be useful in
the WAY you apply them. Start teaching with fun!

Story structure in journalism

CubReporters.org

We often talk of stories and designing great experiences, but how does the medium we choose (book, movie, spoken-word, mobile game, etc.) influence the structure of the story. Why is it that you can predict the key points of a sitcom without knowing all the details of the plotline? Story structure in myths we've been told since before we could speak influence how we see the world and how we tell our own stories. The Transmedia Zurich meetup on June 27th, 2013 was all about how story structure can be identified and used in the design process, either as a basis for transmedia productions, or in smaller projects. Mark (Lost In Reality / idezo) gave an overview of basic story strucutre, and how it is applied to different media. Included are references to the work by Joseph Campbell (The Hero with a Thousand Faces) and how choosing a narrative can be used to target the emotional design of a product (film, game, book, etc.).

Agile Requirements with User Story Mapping

Andreas Hägglund

User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments. "A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."

To deliver the right outcomes, you need to learn your customers needs and validate your assumptions as early as possible. This means getting an early version of your product completed to start testing, validating and improving. This session will demonstrate how to combine Lean Startup and User Story Mapping techniques to determine where to start and how to learn early and often. Participants will start with a partially completed Lean Canvas to flesh out and then define a product roadmap by building a Story Map. We will use Lean Startup concepts of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and validated learning to focus on outcome over output. Learning objectives: Understand the importance of accelerated learning and techniques to achieve it How a Lean Canvas can help shape your product vision and MVP How to build a story map to create a product roadmap How to use a story map to validate your users' journey

User Story Mapping, Discover the whole story

Jeff Patton

Creating a backlog of user stories is pretty straight forward but it doesn't help you when it comes to decisions like what to build first, how to prioritize and groom the backlog, how to scope and plan the project, and how to visualize progress. The traditional backlog is simply too flat and often too long to help you see the bigger picture and make good decisions. User Story Mapping helps simplify all of these common project issues. By adding a third dimension to your backlog, your team will make better decisions about priorities, scope, and planning while improving your ability to visualize progress. In this practical session I’ll cover the basics of user story mapping before walking you through case studies of how our teams are using this approach and the results we are achieving. I'll show you the before, during, and after pictures from several projects so that you can understand how our maps progress during the projects and how we use them to influence iterative development, promote good decision making, and visualize priorities, plans, scope and progress.

Few could argue that stortelling is a powerful tool to inspire action and change, and to influence thought leaders and decision makers. The shape and delivery of stories has also shifted dramatically in the digital era. Long-form narrative and conventionalism journalism now share a stage with messages 140 characters or images that disappear in seconds after they are opened. There have never been more ways to reach audiences, but it's also never been more difficult to really reach them.

Daniela Molnar

In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods. Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Games are rhetorical in nature and serve as responses to the rhetorical situations that call the games into existence. This session will show how to teach Bitzer's rhetorical situation theory through digital gaming and collaborative writing on Google Docs. Live gameplay and theory-based game analysis will be provided."
