The Growth of Video Games

• U.S. Sales $3.2 billion in 1995

$10.4 billion in 2003

• 50% 0f all Americans ages 6 and older play video games!

• 239 Million video and computer games sold last year in the U.S.

• Forecasted AAG at 8 to 10 %

To be defined

Video games moved from the arcades to the living room

Video games A brief history

Digital entertainment began driving computer hardware improvements

Enabling Games to become desktop simulations

Today games are a dominant force in personal technology

innovation

May 1995

Today games are changing our culture

October 1999

Children and young adults at the forefront of this technological wave are changing the fundamental constructs of personal technology, computer, and Internet innovation.

Games now influence the events they simulate

Games now influence the events they simulate

Intertextuality

There is a conversation happening between games and society and the outcome of this conversation is that games are directly influencing the world in which we live.

Vienna University of Technology Players operate track switches and adjusting the speed of virtual trains to prevent virtual trains from colliding. Researchers Daniel Wagner, Thomas Pintaric and Dieter Schmalstieg

Through mixing realities, research is

expanding the potential of embedded training

in the field and in battle labs to provide

integrated training anytime, anywhere. Advancements are

being transferred across industries

from business prototypes to

hospitality training.Integrated research in tracking, registration,

rendering, display, and scenario delivery are

expanding the possibilities of

CONSTRUCTIVE simulation as well as

after action review, and command and control

Player is Incident Commander or subordinate crisis responder. Responds to events with choices that should mirror Department of Justice NICS doctrine.

• Tactical Map set in player’s home county • ICS “hints” throughout gameplay• Coordination and communication required for success• Full-scale training is unaffordable for small jurisdictions*• Permits widespread distribution to many users*

*88% of all jurisdictions are considered to be small.

Incident Commander

Recommendation: Emphasize human-to-human computer mediated

communication, interaction and learning.

Virtual U models the attitudes and behaviors of the academic community in five major areas of higher education anagement: • Spending and income decisions such as operating budget, new hires, incoming donations, and management of the endowment; • Faculty, course, and student scheduling issues; • Admissions standards, university prestige, and student enrollment; • Student housing, classrooms, and all other facilities; and • Performance indicators.

food-force.comProduced by the United Nations' World Food Programme, Kids join a team of emergency aid workers to save the fictitious island of Sheylan from starvation caused by drought and civil war.

The team goes on six missions to help save the island. The additional missions cleverly use games to demonstrate how emergency aid teams acquire food, make food packs, deliver food and establish long-term food supplies.

How Have Video Games Changed the Learner?

• Increased situational awareness (University of Rochester Study)

• Improved pattern recognition and spatial processing abilities (UCLA Prof. Patricia Marks Greenfield)

• Improved inductive reasoning, users “learn by doing” (Prof. Sherry Turkle, MIT)

• Video game players are comfortable with processing large amounts of data.

• Game players have an insatiable desire to “win”!

Games and the Digital Divide

Games and the Innovation Gap

Builders versus Consumers

Innovation GapWe must create a generation of critical thinkers capable of creating innovation!

80% of the top 500 companies are listing "Innovation" as one of the top three priorities in 2002 / 2003.

• In 2002 there were over 30,000 Counter-Strike servers

• Second place was Unreal Tournament with about 9,800

• In 2004, GameSpy over 85,000 players playing Counter-Strike at any point in time

• In 2004 accounted for almost 70 percent of the online FPS audience.

• Over 4.5 billion minutes of playing time each month, making it the most popular online FPS in history.

ISD meets games and they evolve

IDSI’s Game-based Learning Simulation Model™ (GLSM)™ integrates the benefits of

games, simulations, and instructional systems design.

To create a new discipline

Instructional Game Based System DesignIGSD™

Developing effective game-based learning is, to date, the most advanced application of learning theory to technology. Its intricacy and sophistication requires senior, academically, and experientially qualified instructional and game designers.

(Marci Murawski, 2005)

Effective IGSD is a binary process

Experiential Fidelity

– Prepares the learner for the emotional states and sensory inputs

that could impact “real-world” performance

– Harnesses Mood Dependence (Your chances of remembering

an event or fact are greater if you evoke the emotional state you

were in at the time of experiencing the event or learning the

fact) .

– Low Risk Experimentation / Viewable Consequences

– Mitigates skill degradation

– Is a learning environment that students want to use

Game Based Simulations Provide Experiential Fidelity

Games become intelligent

The next phase in game based learning is the game that will asses you and use that knowledge to dynamically and change the simulated environment to provide you with a tailored maximized learning experience.

How do we measure success?

• Tracking of learner performance

• Capture all decision points for instructor review and assessment

• Playable replay of simulation

• Capture emergent learner behaviors for ‘Lessons Learned’

In Conclusion

IDSI’s Game based simulations !– Offer “cost effective” tools for developing strategic

and critical thinking skills

– Supports the “Digital Culture”

– Bridges socio-economic divides in access and knowledge

– Provides “Experiential Fidelity”, i.e. the whole experience

– Are “Intelligent Games” (iGames™) that can dynamically adapt to the learner.

GAME TEAMS

Games have captured millennials imagination

and time.

Leverage the attention economy of games to

develop next generation workforce.

We need to pierce the veil of play and support

game-based constructivist learning.

Transdisciplinarity is the common

denominator.
