Heuristica teaches students to recognize and mitigate cognitive biases using a set of scenarios on a space station to perform tasks such as diagnosing and repairing problems or observing and evaluating game characters performing tasks. The student is evaluated on interactions in the 3D environment and on answers to questions provided by text or audio. We tested two types of tailoring: a) Student Model guided gameplay based on performance and b) Student Model guided gameplay with added worked-out examples (WOEs) whenever the student displays specific misconceptions or bugs in reasoning. We expected that customizing a player's game experience based on his or her pre-test knowledge scores and in-game behavior would tailor the learning experience and improve the effectiveness of the training. Ninety-four participants played one of three versions of the game, and the experiment evaluated and compared the efficacy of the game using either a fixed-order version of the game (no tailoring) or either of the two tailoring approaches. Differences in the mastery scores captured during gameplay provided additional insight into these results. Implications for intelligent tutoring use in games are discussed.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115523843","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}

To prevent any hindrance of the language barrier and deliver the information effectively, we add multilingual feature (English, Korean, and Vietnamese) to allow each user to play the game in her own native language. In addition, we design the game to provide the information interactively with added entertainment factor, allowing the users to get immersed more readily into the gameplay and learning experiences. Our results indicate that 97% of participants regarded the game providing perceptively significant amount of information about HPV and cervical cancer prevention and treatment. More importantly, about nine out of ten participants considered the game as more effective educational tool than the traditional methods. We conclude that our game succeeds as the educational tool to provide valid information about HPV/cervical cancer to the public either as a standalone tool or as a supplement to conventional ones.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132491887","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}

Research has recently elucidated how the network structure of feeding relationships both generally stabilize complex ecosystems and also specifically predict effects of experimentally removing species. Still, further research is inhibited by the exponential increase of parameter space with the number of nonlinearly interacting species. Such increases prevent more thorough exploration and understanding of complex ecosystems. Here, we describe how intelligent interfaces for multiplayer games help researchers surpass these limitations. Our applications including a multiplayer online game, “World of Balance,” educates players about interdependence and non-linear population dynamics among species within ecosystems while helping to explore critically important parameter space in a scientifically productive manner. Our evaluation tests found that benefits of playing World of Balance on knowledge gain and learning significantly surpassed the benefits of reading scientific articles among undergraduates. Such work efficiently leverages multiple resources to expand education and research potential within critically important areas of ecology and sustainability science.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128857426","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}

This article proposes the use of GPU texture memory to implement lookup tables for a spatial partitioning based k-Nearest Neighbours algorithm. These improvements allow simulation of swarms of 220 agents at higher rates than the current best alternative algorithms. This approach is incorporated into an existing framework for simulating steering behaviours allowing for a complete implementation of massive agent swarm simulations, with per agent behaviour preferences, on a Graphics Processing Unit. These simulations have enabled an investigation of the emergent dynamics that occur when massive swarms interact with a choke point in their environment. Various modes of sustained dynamics with temporal and spatial coherence are identified when a critical mass of agents is simulated and some elementary properties are presented. The algorithms presented in this article enable researchers and content designers in games and movies to implement truly massive agent swarms in real time and thus provide a basis for further identification and analysis of the emergent dynamics in these swarms. This will improve not only the scale of swarms used in commercial games and movies but will also improve the reliability of swarm behaviour with respect to content design goals.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124265222","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}

With the novelty of Exergames, an alternative form of entertainment and exercise, new educational resources emerged especially for Physical Education classes. Within this perspective, in this study we present an experiment with the use of exergames in Physical Education classes in which we observed how organized practices with small groups of students can generate collaboration and companionship. The study considered mainly students who were not keen in taking part of the regular Physical Education classes, children and adolescents from eight to fourteen years old. Our research methodology followed a non-participant and participant observation approach. Students were observed for a period of five months in an Exergames Lab at the Brazilian-Israeli School located in Porto Alegre, Brazil. A total of 24 students, of both genders, participated in the experiment. Results showed that students were collaborative and helpful in the group work as well as more confident to practice sports and other physical activities with the exergames in small groups.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127237147","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}
