However, crowd-sensing data can offer much more, supplying a seemingly untapped font of information which may be used within the creation of unique PCG game spaces or content, whilst providing a visible outlet for the dissemination of crowd-sensed material to users. This paper examines one such use of crowd-sensed data, the creation of a game which will reside within the CROWD4ROADS (C4RS) [3] application, SmartRoadSense (SRS) [4]. The authors will open with a brief discussion of PCG. Following this, an explanation of the features and aims of the SRS application will be provided. Finally, the paper will introduce 'Balance Trucks', the SRS game, discussing the concepts behind using crowd-sensed data within its design, its development and use of PCG.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125549685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These roles are paramount to the growth of the tournaments and surrounding community. They also have strong ties to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics related content and careers that are rarely made explicit, even though they develop skills valued in high tech careers at the intersection of STEM and Entrepreneurship. In this paper we present a framework for understanding the Esports Ecosystem from the perspective of diverse and divergent roles within high school and collegiate esports communities. Based on two years of qualitative participant observation of esports communities in Southern California, we detail the ways in which these forms of participation connect to valued high school academic and career ready curriculum standards that together represent STEM Entrepreneurship. It is on the basis of these connections that we have developed a year-long high school course that ties the skills esports participation fosters and the careers that they lead to.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128063665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to really increase the adoption of serious games in different educational scenarios, the combination and integration of games into the educational flow should be simplified. We envision Serious Games as new type of educational activity that can be combined as parts of other games (e.g. minigames integrated in larger games), integrated into other online activities, or even mixed with both game and non-game activities. In addition, if we want to make the most from serious games, a learning analytics system must be in place to harvest and analyze interactions, providing metrics and insights to instructors regarding the gameplay sessions. Moreover, if a course-level learning analytics strategy is designed, it must be aligned with the game learning analytics. This approach requires communication between games and educational activities used during the educational experience. From a game learning analytics standpoint, gaining insights from these integrated experiences introduces new requirements within potentially complex multi-level or hierarchical activities. Moreover, the analysis required to generate these metrics should be both efficient and provide insight in an understandable way and for different stakeholders. This paper describes an approach to multilevel game learning analytics from the perspectives of data model, implementation architecture, and result visualization in teacher-oriented dashboards","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123919361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GKE is a novel framework that defines knowledge training using game mechanics (GMs). It describes the process of directly encoding learning contents in GMs to allow for an engaging and effective transfer-oriented knowledge training. Overall, GEtiT is developed to facilitate the training process of the complex and abstract Affine Transformation (AT) knowledge. The complexity of the AT makes it hard to demonstrate this learning content thus learners frequently experience issues when trying to develop an understanding for its application. During the gameplay, the application of the AT's mathematical grounded aspects is required and information about the underlying principles are provided. In this article, a short overview over GEtiT's structure and the knowledge encoding process is given. Also, this article presents the results of a study measuring the training effectivity and motivational aspects of GEtiT. The results indicate a training outcome similar to a traditional paper-based training method but a higher motivation of the GEtiT players. Hence, GEtiT yields a higher learning quality.","PeriodicalId":264923,"journal":{"name":"2018 10th International Conference on Virtual Worlds and Games for Serious Applications (VS-Games)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114298096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
