1) grand challenges of society. key grand challenges of modern societies e.g.:
(a) population growth is leading to greater pressures on our environments
(climate change, restricted resources, education systems, energy sources) (b)
globalisation is leading to more interconnected and complex social structures
(self-organised criticality) > futurICT
2) serious games institute model and projects. how we are addressing
critical challenges in our research and development work, including trajectories
for research work and some key findings and research challenges
3) what is gamification? the role of ‘gamification’ in social (behavioural)
change and awareness raising.
4) trajectories for research work and some key findings and research
challenges: strands of research
5) can gamification change our world and solve grand challenges we
face? Some examples of how we can meet challenges
reflections and conclusions: move towards more complex structures and socially
driven innovation and technology development: solutions to big data and
vulnerable systems. can games save lives?

and data explosion challenges

challenges humanity is facing in the 21st century (copyright: dirk helbing)
Lee C. Bollinger, president of Columbia University,
formulated the issue as follows: “The forces affecting
societies around the world ... are powerful and novel. The
spread of global market systems ... are ... reshaping our
world ..., raising profound questions. These questions call
for the kinds of analyses and understandings that academic
institutions are uniquely capable of providing. Too many
policy failures are fundamentally failures of knowledge.”
1. Financial and economic crisis
2. Debts and inflation
3. Stability of the European Union
4. Political revolutions, war
5. Critical infrastructure risks
6. Environmental change
7. Epidemics (SARS, H1N1 pandemic)
8. Migration and integration
9. Extremism, terrorism
10. Corruption, organized crime

![Page 12: 2012 06 19 (upm) emadrid sdefreitas sgi cu can serious games save lives](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55496be9b4c905dd558b4eb8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
beginning of 2010 the games industry posted total sales of $1.17 billion for the month of january
value of sg in 2010 was estimated to be 1.5 billion, and is set to increase by average 47% between 2010 and 2015 (idate market report)
international software federation of europe (isfe, 2010):74% of those aged 16-19 considered themselves gamers (n=3000), 60% of those 20-24, 56% 25-29 and 38% 30-44.
32% of the total uk population consider themselves gamers (n=3000). 31% of females described themselves as gamers and 34% of males.
several studies demonstrating the efficacy of serious games for training in particular through behavioural change (sg-ets, hope lab’s re:mission, pulse project)
wide uptake of social software (e.g. facebook, wikipedia), crowdsourcing
learning in multimodal ways: mixed reality, augmented reality, mobile learning, haptics (more flexible approaches)
converging technologies: mobile devices, ar devices, bci/eegs, sensor networks, robotics, virtual world mashups, gps, geocoding, web technologies and services (soa)

triage trainer (tt) trial summary:
5 trials: september 2007 – january 2008
independently conducted by the university of birmingham
trial participants:
91 uk nhs doctors, nurses & paramedics
all on alsg major incident medical management and support (mimms) training courses
participants were randomly distributed:
tt game (n = 47)
non-game (n = 44)
triage trainer – trial results
tt game group:
15 minute tutorial in game play / user interface
60 minutes playing the tt game on their own
instructor available to answer questions
non-game group:
75 minute normal alsg instructor-led table top exercise
involved sorting cards with vital signs variables written on them into priority groups
![Page 21: 2012 06 19 (upm) emadrid sdefreitas sgi cu can serious games save lives](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55496be9b4c905dd558b4eb8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
trial results of tt game trainees versus non-game trainees:
tagging accuracy of tt game trainees:
significantly higher accuracy *χ2 = 13.126, p<0.05]
step accuracy of tt game trainees. comparing the ratios of participants who achieved an 8/8
accuracy rating (i.e. followed the correct protocol for all 8 casualties):
significantly more accurate (28%) than the non-game group (7%) *χ2 = 7.29, p<0.05]
time taken by tt game trainees to complete triage of all 8 casualties:
no significant difference on time taken (p>0.05)
triage trainer – (knight et al., 2010)possible conclusions:
a ‘serious game’ such as the triage trainer offers the potential to:
enhance learning; and
improve transfer of training
possible reasons are that the game offers:
opportunity to practice skills and knowledge gained on the course in a more realistic and more engaging environment
personalised feedback which enables the game player to correct procedural errors made, through repeated play

what benefits do serious games provide?
scalability of game environments to large global communities
adaptivity to user requirements
closer modelling of user behaviour (feedback loop)
behavioural change
flow, feedback, visual and actual realism leading to higher levels of immersion
increased motivation and engagement
multimodal integration of interfaces and other technologies: e.g. ai, haptics, biofeedback, sensors networks etc) from convergence, mash ups and user/community interaction
reflections the upon future of serious games
![Page 40: 2012 06 19 (upm) emadrid sdefreitas sgi cu can serious games save lives](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060107/55496be9b4c905dd558b4eb8/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
so are applications of vw/games technologies really changing our approaches to working, learning, social interactions and how we consider experiences?
providing new tools for flow, feedback, visual and actual realism leading to higher levels of immersion
great potential for the medium for supporting immersive education through increased motivation and engagement
potential for personalized feedback and more sophisticated learning interaction
move towards immersive learning experiences and design: with increased motivation, immediate feedback and sophisticated user models
can serious games save lives and address the grand challenges?
need for serious games community to work with user communities and educationalists to answer some of the key grand challenges
