The thesis is focused on promoting the training of systems thinking using board game. The primary goal is to create a board game, useful for training of the information managers. The secondary objective is to describe process of the design and creation of board game. The theoretical basis of the thesis is to define the profile information manager and demands for his skills further description of the principles of systems thinking and game theory. External work output is a prototype board game. The theoretical part of the paper discusses in particular the principles of board game , systems thinking and psychological effect on the player so that it can pass through the game players more experience. From the perspective of the theory of systems thinking are discussed and applied basic principles of feedback, causal thinking and system archetypes. Theory of board games then processes the options and mechanisms to transmit the necessary knowledge and experience.

Puppy Valley: An App-Mediated Board Game to Enhance Scam And Fraud Awareness Among US SeniorsPrince Owusu Attah (10731960) 05 May 2021 (has links)
<p>Scams and fraud have become a significant problem for the American population within the past few years. While victims range from young to older adults, it is the seniors who are the major targets. In 2018 the Federal Trade Commission reported that senior citizens aged 60 years and above formed 35% of all the scam victims it recorded. According to the U.S Senate Committee on aging, scams like the grandparent scam, IRS impersonation scam, romance scam; have become popular. Even at this level of notoriety, most victims are usually unaware of it entirely or how its perpetrators commit these crimes. Being aware of the situation is a critical step towards curbing this problem. This thesis project uses User-Centered Design (UCD) to understand, conceptualize, and prototype a solution to promote social interaction while improving the cognitive abilities of seniors and creating awareness about fraud. The design requirements and direction were formed through multivariate research methods like literature review, user interviews, and focus group sessions. The proposed solution is Puppy valley, an app-mediated trivia board game that has a physical wheel and mobile application and uses narratives inspired by real fraud cases to create activities for users to play with. After the research and design, the game was evaluated by five experts, and refinements within the scope of the study were made based on the insights from the evaluation.</p>

The development of a board game as preventative measure against the sexual abuse of grade four children in South AfricaDunn, Munita 30 June 2004 (has links)
Every child has the constitutional right to be protected from maltreatment, neglect or abuse. However, contrasting every child's constitutional right is the escalating worldwide prevalence of child sexual abuse. The incidence of child sexual abuse must be reduced as far as possible by a multi-faceted approach, including effective prevention programmes which facilitate disclosure and empower children.
Since insufficient South African research on prevention programmes and preventative measures are available, the primary aim of the study was to develop a board game which can foster the prevention of sexual abuse of children. Scientifically, the motivation for the study was based on the improved understanding of the educational impact of a board game as primary prevention tool. The researcher developed the HOOC board game as part of the Hands Off Our Children Campaign. The board game, being practical and educational, has the goal of teaching children self-protective behaviours that can lower their probability of being abused.
A representative sample of 1697 grade four learners, nine to twelve years of age, were selected from the Metropole East region. In order to determine the educational impact of the HOOC board game, the results of the children on the Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire-Revised (CKAQ-RIII) in the experimental and control groups were compared. The experimental group (n=407) received the board game as intervention. The control group (n=1290) did not receive any intervention. Performance on the test were also compared with gender and ethnicity.
According to the obtained results, the HOOC board game correlated with the improvement of knowledge in an acceptable manner. No significant correlations were found between the scores of the tests and gender. The gender of a learner had no significant impact on the learner's ability to learn and retain information. A significant correlation was found between the difference in scores on the tests and the ethnic grouping of learners. It therefore seems that the ethnicity of a learner relates to the improvement of knowledge. Considering the overall results of the study, the use of the HOOC board game as preventative measure against the sexual abuse of grade four learners is acceptable. The HOOC board game offers a significant and valid preventative measure for sexual abuse of children in the middle age group within the South African context. / Practical Theology / D. Diac.

Biopolis : Ett Spelprojekt om Klimat- och Beteendeförändring / Biopolis : A Game Project about Climate- and Behavior ChangeSvensson, Rasmus January 2021 (has links)
Klimatförändring är något som sker naturligt på vår planet. Vad man dock har upptäckt under de senaste 100 åren, är att vi människor har påskyndat denna process och därmed satt planetens naturliga cykel ur balans. Forskare förutspår drastiska förändringar i framtiden. Torka och begränsad åtkomst till dricksvatten. Höjning av havsnivån. Extremaväder. M.m. Ändå händer det inte så mycket som man tycker att det borde göra. En förändring måste ske. Så vad kan jag, som grafisk designer, göra för världen? Ett av de stora problemen inom detta ämne är attdetta är något man inte vill tala om i samhället. Det är ett tungt ämne och det är förståeligt att mangärna vänder ryggen till. Därför har jag anpassatmitt projekt till att tackla detta dilemma genom attutnyttja ett medium som har möjlighet att fångauppnärksamhet på ett öppensinnat sätt. Genom rolig aktivitet och lättsam stämning hoppas jag att fler ska vara öppna till förändring. För att uppnå detta har grafisk formgivning använts för att gestala projektets identitet med stöd från färgteori och beteendevetenskap. Även teorierna om nudging och learning by doing har spelat en rolli arbetet som mynnat ut i ett brädspel med fokus på användarupplevelsen. / Climate change is something that happens naturally on our planet. What has been discovered over the last 100 years, however, is that us humans have accelerated this process and put the planet’s natural cycle out of balance. Researchers predict drastic changes in the future. Drought and limited access to drinking water. Increasing sea level. Extreme weather. Etc. Despite this not as much happens as you think it should. A change must happen. So what can I, as a graphic designer, do for the world? One of the big problems about this topic, is that this is something people avoid talking about in society. It’s a heavy subject and it’s understandable that people would rather turn their back on it. Therefore, I have adapted my project to tackle this dilemma by using a medium that has the opportunity to capture attention in an open minded way. Through fun activity and light-hearted atmosphere, I hope that more people will be open to change. To achieve this, graphic design has been used to shape the project’s identity with the support of color theory and behavioral science. The theories of nudging and learning by doing have also played a role in the work, which resulted in a board game with a focus on user experience.

Web applications using the Google Web Toolkit / Webanwendungen unter Verwendung des Google Web Toolkitsvon Wenckstern, Michael 04 June 2013 (has links) (PDF)
This diploma thesis describes how to create or convert traditional Java programs to desktop-like rich internet applications with the Google Web Toolkit.
The Google Web Toolkit is an open source development environment, which translates Java code to browser and device independent HTML and JavaScript.
Most of the GWT framework parts, including the Java to JavaScript compiler as well as important security issues of websites will be introduced.
The famous Agricola board game will be implemented in the Model-View-Presenter pattern to show that complex user interfaces can be created with the Google Web Toolkit.
The Google Web Toolkit framework will be compared with the JavaServer Faces one to find out which toolkit is the right one for the next web project. / Diese Diplomarbeit beschreibt die Erzeugung desktopähnlicher Anwendungen mit dem Google Web Toolkit und die Umwandlung klassischer Java-Programme in diese.
Das Google Web Toolkit ist eine Open-Source-Entwicklungsumgebung, die Java-Code in browserunabhängiges als auch in geräteübergreifendes HTML und JavaScript übersetzt.
Vorgestellt wird der Großteil des GWT Frameworks inklusive des Java zu JavaScript-Compilers sowie wichtige Sicherheitsaspekte von Internetseiten.
Um zu zeigen, dass auch komplizierte graphische Oberflächen mit dem Google Web Toolkit erzeugt werden können, wird das bekannte Brettspiel Agricola mittels Model-View-Presenter Designmuster implementiert.
Zur Ermittlung der richtigen Technologie für das nächste Webprojekt findet ein Vergleich zwischen dem Google Web Toolkit und JavaServer Faces statt.
