103	Deriving Operational Principles for the Design of Engaging Learning Experiences Swan, Richard Heywood 18 July 2008 (has links) (PDF) The issue of learner engagement is an important question for education and for instructional design. It is acknowledged that computer games in general are engaging. Thus, one possible solution to learner engagement is to integrate computer games into education; however, the literature indicates that pedagogical, logistical and political barriers remain. Another possible solution is to derive principles for the design of engaging experiences from a critical examination of computer game design. One possible application of the derived design principles is that instruction may be designed to be inherently more engaging. The purpose of this dissertation was to look for operational principles underlying the design of computer games in order to better understand the design of engaging experiences. Core design components and associated operational principles for the design of engaging experiences were identified. Selected computer games were analyzed to demonstrate that these components and principles were present in the design of successful computer games. Selected instructional units were analyzed to show evidence that these operational principles could be applied to the design of instruction. An instructional design theory—called Challenge-driven Instructional Design—and design considerations for the theory were proposed. Finally, suggestions were made for continued development and research of the instructional design theory. computer game video game engagement instructional design experience design design theory reverse engineering agency agentive learning operational principle feedforward automaticity learning experience challenge-driven design core component primary generator intrinsic motivation recoverability core performance agentive means variable challenge thematic signaling player presence game world self-consistent setting Educational Psychology

105	Validation of the recognition-primed decision model and the roles of common-sense strategies in an adversarial environment Soh, Boon Kee 24 April 2007 (has links) This dissertation set out to understand the decision processes used by decision makers in adversarial environment by setting up an adversarial decision making microworld, as an experimental platform, using a real time strategy (RTS) game called Rise of Nations (RON). The specific objectives of this dissertation were: 1.Contribute to the validation of recognition-primed decision (RPD) model in a simulated adversarial environment; 2.Explore the roles of common-sense strategies in decision making in the adversarial environment; and 3.Test the effectiveness of training recommendations based on the RPD model. Three related experimental studies were setup to investigate each of the objectives. Study 1 found that RPD model was partly valid where RPD processes were prevalently used but other decision processes were also important in an adversarial environment. A new decision model (ConPAD model) was proposed to capture the nature of decision making in the adversarial environment. It was also found that cognitive abilities might have some effects on the types of decision processes used by the decision makers. Study 2 found that common-sense strategies were prevalent in the adversarial environment where the participants were able to use all but one of the warfare related strategies extracted from literature without teaching them. The strategy familiarization training was not found to significantly improve decision making but showed that common-sense strategies were prevalent and simple familiarization training was not sufficient to produce differences in strategy usage and performances from the novice participants. Study 3 also found that RPD based training (cue-recognition and decision skill training) were not significant in producing better performance although subjective feedback found such training to be useful. However, the participants with RPD based training conditions were able to perform on the same level as the expert participants bridging the gap between novices and experts. Based on the findings, it was recommended that decision training should involve not just RPD based training, but comparisons of attributes as well. A more interactive training combining common-sense strategies, cue-recognition and decision skill training might be more useful. More theoretical experimentation would be required to validate the new decision model proposed in this dissertation. / Ph.

106	From Structured Guidance to Self-Directed Play : Applying Self-Determination Theory in Game Design Yuheng, Liang January 2024 (has links) This thesis investigates the use of scaffolding techniques in video game design to increase player engagement and satisfy psychological needs as defined by self-determination theory (SDT). It focuses on how games use scaffolding mechanisms to improve player autonomy, competence, and relatedness—the three fundamental needs proposed by SDT as ways to promote intrinsic motivation. The study also examines self-scaffolding strategies employed by players, exploring how they independently leverage game features to meet their psychological needs. Through case studies on games including Hearthstone, Magic: the Gathering Arena, and Path of Exile, the research analyzes the application of scaffolding and self-scaffolding using formal analysis of game tutorials and systems, as well as discourse analysis of player and specialist discussions about these aspects. The findings indicate that Hearthstone's tutorial, which effectively uses scaffolding, is well received by players, while the scaffolding in Magic: the Gathering Arena is not as effective. Path of Exile's complex skill tree promotes self-scaffolding, highlighting the importance of self-directed learning in intricate game environments. The study concludes that effective scaffolding design is essential for onboarding players, but tutorials should be skippable to accommodate experienced players. At the same time, games should provide sufficient structure to guide player learning while allowing freedom for exploration, innovation, and self-directed learning. self-determination theory SDT scaffolding self-scaffolding game tutorial tutorial design in-game learning Hearthstone Magic: the Gathering Arena Path of Exile player engagement video game computer gameself-determination theory SDT scaffolding self-scaffolding game tutorial tutorial design in-game learning Hearthstone Magic: the Gathering Arena Path of Exile player engagement video game computer game Computer Sciences Datavetenskap (datalogi)
107	Spatial Mapping in virtuellen Umgebungen: Der Einfluss von Stereoskopie und Natural Mapping auf die User Experience Pietschmann, Daniel 17 July 2014 (has links) Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkung von reichhaltigen, natürlichen Eingabe- und Ausgabeinformationen in virtuellen Umgebungen in Form von Natural Mapping und Stereoskopie. Dabei steht insbesondere die Kombination der Ein- und Ausgabemodalitäten mit dem damit verbundenen Interaktionsgegenstand im Fokus. Auf Basis von mentalen Modellen werden Transferprozesse von Wissen und Fertigkeiten bezüglich realer Handlungen auf virtuelle Handlungen angenommen. Diese resultieren in einer potenziell höheren User Experience und Performance bei der Interaktion. Spatial Mapping wird als Konzept der räumlichen Übereinstimmung von Wahrnehmungsräumen der Ein- und Ausgabeinformationen eingeführt und damit als holistische Erweiterung von Natural Mapping verstanden. Spatial Mapping bezeichnet in der vorliegenden Arbeit den Grad der Verknüpfung der physikalischen und virtuellen Umgebung, sodass Nutzer im Idealfall eine isomorphe Abbildung der beiden Wahrnehmungsräume erfahren und notwendige Transformationsprozesse für die Verarbeitung der virtuellen Umgebung minimiert werden können. Im Resultat stehen mehr kognitive Ressourcen für andere Inhalte zur Verfügung. Auf Basis des Spatial-Mapping-Ansatzes wurde ein Pfadmodell konstruiert, das experimentell überprüft wurde. In zwei Experimenten wurden Effekte von Natural Mapping und Stereoskopie in Szenarien mit hohem Spatial Mapping untersucht. Das erste Experiment nutzte dafür ein kommerzielles Computerspiel, bei dem Spatial Mapping für die Interaktion nicht handlungsrelevant war. Beim zweiten Experiment kam ein Virtual-Reality-Simulator zum Einsatz, bei dessen Aufgabenstellung Nutzer vom hohen Spatial Mapping deutlich profitieren konnten. Meist wird Stereoskopie auf existierende mediale Inhalte angewendet, ohne die Inhalte entsprechend darauf anzupassen. Diese Vorgehensweise lässt sich sowohl bei kommerziellen Computerspielen als auch in der Filmindustrie beobachten. Die Experimente zeigen, dass Stereoskopie keinen Einfluss auf UX und Performance hat, wenn das verfügbare Spatial Mapping für den Interaktionsgegenstand nicht handlungsrelevant ist. Die Arbeit diskutiert den Einsatz von Stereoskopie und Natural Mapping in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Interaktionsgegenstandes und liefert damit einen Erklärungsansatz, der Eingabe- und Ausgabemodalitäten kombiniert betrachtet.:1.

108	A Hypnotic Digital Artefact Cederlund, Micaela January 2023 (has links) This essay investigates what may constitute a hypnotic digital artefact from a design standpoint. This essay is meant to help designers who want to create hypnotic digital artefacts in the shape of a game, or researchers who wants to further this field. With a case study analysing the game Cultist Simulator, this essay observes applications from this essay’s frameworks: NLP, Procedural Rhetorics, Flow, Trance, and Ericksonian Hypnosis. The case study serves to demonstrate how a larger scale reflection of intrinsic cross over points between hypnosis and the video game medium may take place within state-of-the-art discourse. This essay fulfils its design-aid purpose by charting factors that can be put in place to facilitate a trance and a hypnosis in a game, in a design table summarising design methods discussed. The means that may put a player’s mind in abeyance are posited here regarding how this may influence the game experience, including induction techniques, where suggestions are provided in how these might translate to a game format. Through its frameworks and case study, hypnotic content generation is put in focus, where this essay finds that games utilising metaphors and depicting inner spaces carry significance in this pursuit. It also finds that mirroring communication of the unconscious, such as adhering to rules of a dream state, and acknowledging the unconscious’ uses and capacities, has potential in this pursuit. Importantly, the essay includes a discussion on Cultist Simulator’s decadent aesthetics and its role in leading a player towards an alternate state of consciousness.
