Zurich, July 17, 2013 The Vice Dean of the Academic Program in Informatics: Prof. Dr. Harald C. Gall Abstract The advent of technologies for remote collaboration has led to new developments in work and education during the last few decades, and will continue to profoundly influence work- ing, teaching, and learning in the 21st century. New forms of distance education – MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are just one recent example – make it possible for teachers to reach a large audience, and for students to access educational materials that would not be available to them otherwise.

  • The Possibility Analysis of Esports Becoming an Olympic Sport
    The possibility analysis of Esports becoming an Olympic sport Yucong Wu Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in Sports Coaching and Management 2019 Author(s) Yucong Wu Degree programme Degree Programme in sport management Report/thesis title Number of pages and The possibility analysis of Esports becoming an Olympic sport appendix pages 33+2 Abstract Since Esports became a demonstration sport of the Jakarta Asian games, people have been wondering whether Esports will become an official event in the Olympics and Asian games. But as the events for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2022 Asian games in Hangzhou were announced, Esports is not included. The purpose of this study is to find out the factors of Esports becoming an Olympic sport and discuss the feasibility of turning Esports into an Olympic project. This study analyzes the popularity and social recognition of Esports, the defected audience advantages of Esports and how Esports match Olympic values. According to data and literature analysis, some Esports have undesirable elements that do not accord with the Olympic values, but they also have positive elements. The high popularity of Esports among young people is in line with the IOC's desire to attract more young people to the games. However, since the penetration rate of other age groups is comparatively low, Esports is less popular than the new sports in the next two Olympic Games, and the general concept of Esports and video games are not yet clear. The short life and high commercialization are usually regarded as the main defects of Esports, while the latter actually plays a positive role in driving host countries to embrace Esports.

Today, players can not only collect digital currencies, but they can also use real currencies to buy virtual goods. Business models in games such as freemium and in-app purchases, for example, sustain this structure. Within this context, there is also the expansion of models outside the game realm like eSports, which happens in the form of tournaments. With this, there is constant exchange of value that emerges from games, which could also include the use of cryptocurren- cies. In this chapter, we give an overview of the current state of the art of economic models within games and eSports. The current chapter aims to situate and analyse the application of these business models derived from games, e-sport and the future of ludic economies.

    REVIEW ARTICLE Journal of Behavioral Addictions 8(3), pp. 384–394 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/2006.8.2019.46 First published online September 25, 2019 Will esports result in a higher prevalence of problematic gaming? A review of the global situation THOMAS CHUNG*, SIMMY SUM, MONIQUE CHAN, ELY LAI and NANLEY CHENG Student Health Service, Department of Health, Hong Kong SAR, China (Received: August 23, 2018; revised manuscript received: November 27, 2018; second revised manuscript received: April 8, 2019; accepted: July 24, 2019) Background and aims: Video gaming is highly prevalent in modern culture, particularly among young people, and a healthy hobby for the majority of users. However, in recent years, there has been increasing global recognition that excessive video gaming may lead to marked functional impairment and psychological distress for a significant minority of players. Esports is a variant of video gaming. It is a relatively new phenomenon but has attracted a considerable number of followers across the world and is a multimillion dollar industry. The aim of this briefing paper is to review the global situation on esports and related public health implications. Methods: A non-systematic review was conducted. Information obtained from the Internet and PubMed was collated and presented as genres of games, varieties and magnitudes of impacts, popularity, fiscal impact in monetary terms, government involvement, and public health implications. Results: There are several different kinds of esports but there was no clear categorization on the genre of games. Many tournaments have been organized by gaming companies across the world with huge prize pools, and some of these events have government support.

Strumenti digitali, metodi e prospettive per l’uomo del terzo millennio” di Fortunato Sorrentino e Maria Chiara Pettenati, edito da Firenze University Press, 2014. Mantenendo fisso il punto focale del libro – la conoscenza nelle sue nuove forme, la sua creazione e condivisione nel mondo contemporaneo – questa modalità di collaborazione, sempre più adottata dal knowledge worker moderno, viene discussa nei vari scenari d’uso e osservata da molteplici punti di vista. Ricevono particolare attenzione gli strumenti per la collaborazione digitale, una generazione di applicazioni software innovative, i cosiddetti “spazi di lavoro virtuali condivisi”, insieme alla discussione delle abilità e delle attitudini richieste per avvalersi efficacemente di tali dispositivi. Parole chiave : conoscenza; condivisione; immersività; collaborazione digitale; spazi virtuali. Abstract Digital Collaboration, in the context of the pressing presence of a wide range of digital technologies in our everyday life, is the topic of Chapter 3 of the book “Orizzonti di conoscenza.

  • Pride, Not Money, the Spur to Egames King 8 September 2016, by Pirate Irwin
    Pride, not money, the spur to eGames King 8 September 2016, by Pirate Irwin It is certainly a money-spinning industry and its revenue last year was more than $700 million, $320 million of that in Asia. Money, though, is not what is driving King. "I come from this world of traditional sport," King told AFP after appearing on a panel at the Sport Industry Breakfast Club, supported by MP & Silva. "What I saw in eSports was it has been all about prize money and I was concerned it would end up like poker. "If you have children playing it its (the money) not The eGames were showcased in Rio during the the right thing so like in traditional sport tennis has Olympics the Davis Cup and golf the Ryder Cup, where the players don't play for money, I wondered where was the equivalent in eSports. Golf has the Ryder Cup, tennis the Davis Cup and now the fast-growing eSports will have the eGames in Pyeongchang in 2018, the main mover behind it, Chester King, told AFP. The 44-year-old Englishman—chief executive of the International eGames Group—said his wish was for national pride to be at stake rather than it being based around prize money, as is the case with most eSports events. ESports, in which sedentary competitors play video games, would not be a winner with former International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Jacques Rogge, who introduced the Youth Olympic Games primarily because he wanted to Players of eSports train for hours each day get young people enthused about taking exercise.
