  • The History of Educational Computer Games
    Beyond Edutainment Exploring the Educational Potential of Computer Games By Simon Egenfeldt-nielsen Submitted to the IT-University of Copenhagen as partial fulfilment of the requirements for the PhD degree February, 2005 Candidate: Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen Købmagergade 11A, 4. floor 1150 Copenhagen +45 40107969 [email protected] Supervisors: Anker Helms Jørgensen and Carsten Jessen Abstract Computer games have attracted much attention over the years, mostly attention of the less flattering kind. This has been true for computer games focused on entertainment, but also for what for years seemed a sure winner, edutainment. This dissertation aims to be a modest contribution to understanding educational use of computer games by building a framework that goes beyond edutainment. A framework that goes beyond the limitations of edutainment, not relying on a narrow perception of computer games in education. The first part of the dissertation outlines the background for building an inclusive and solid framework for educational use of computer games. Such a foundation includes a variety of quite different perspectives for example educational media and non-electronic games. It is concluded that educational use of computer games remains strongly influenced by educational media leading to the domination of edutainment. The second part takes up the challenges posed in part 1 looking to especially educational theory and computer games research to present alternatives. By drawing on previous research three generations of educational computer games are identified. The first generation is edutainment that perceives the use of computer games as a direct way to change behaviours through repeated action. The second generation puts the spotlight on the relation between computer game and player.

  • A Truly Great Company, with the Very Best People, a Compelling Underlying Strategy and Resources for Sustainable Growth
    A TRULY GREAT COMPANY, WITH THE VERY BEST PEOPLE, A COMPELLING UNDERLYING STRATEGY AND RESOURCES FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH. MATTEL, INC. 1999 ANNUAL REPORT On the Cover: Robotic Puppy, from Fisher-Price, is a puppy who actually listens and responds to his owner’s voice with life-like actions, emotions and sounds. Jewel Girl Barbie features a belly button and also bends and twists with her new soft waist. Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver CD-ROM was a top seller in 1999, providing kids with the ultimate in stunt driving excitement. A new version of the game hits stores in 2000. 1 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS The bad news for 1999 unfortunately has overshadowed the good news. We are all painfully aware of the negative effect the acquisition of The Learning Company and its subsequent perfor- mance had on our results for 1999. These well-reported difficulties obscured the fundamentally strong performance of Mattel’s core brands and sectors. In the seasonally important fourth quarter, core product sales were up 13 percent in the U.S. – Barbie grew by 11 percent and Fisher-Price by 14 percent. Mattel Entertainment was up 70 percent, Wheels recorded a world- wide sales increase of 6 percent and Pleasant Company achieved a 4 percent growth in sales. These solid performances represent a strong endorsement of Mattel’s strategy, and serve as the underpinning for our optimism for the future. This gives us confidence that Mattel remains a truly great company, with the very best people, a compelling underlying strategy and resources Mattel’s five business unit presidents include, for sustainable growth.

After an hour-long commute in the pouring rain, you slosh into the Acme Detective Agency, grunt hello to your secretary, pour yourself a cup of scalding coffee and slump at your desk. It's been a tough year. The only thing good about it is that you've earned a vacation and you're scheduled to leave at 5 p.m. today. You take a swig of coffee and grab a travel brochure from your desk. Visions of sandy beaches, swaying palms, and cool blue waters fill your head. Suddenly, you're snapped back to reality by a newspaper slammed down on your desk. "Read it and weep," a voice growls.

  • The History of Gender Stereotyping in Video Game Culture, 1970-2000
    The Road to Gamergate: The History of Gender Stereotyping In Video Game Culture, 1970-2000 and Beyond By Thomas M. Derr A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School - Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in History Federated Department of History at Rutgers University - Newark and NJIT Written under the direction of Elizabeth R. Petrick, Ph.D. and Kyle Riismandel, Ph.D. And approved by ______________________________________ Newark, NJ October, 2020 © 2020 Thomas M. Derr ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Road to Gamergate: The History of Gender Stereotyping In Video Game Culture, 1970-2000 and Beyond By THOMAS M. DERR Dissertation Director: Elizabeth R. Petrick, PH.D. Computer technology has not always been dominated by men. Prior to 1984, women earning computer science degrees skyrocketed to nearly 37%. After this peak, the numbers dwindled down to just 17% by 2012. What happened here? This paper tells the story of how women grew to become more and more marginalized not only from computing, but from the culture of video games that would become extremely popular as home computers became more available to the public. This story traces how gender roles and stereotypes go on to gatekeep women from participating in video game and computer culture from the 1970s and well into the 2000s and beyond. This gatekeeping is perpetuated through the attitudes and perspectives of men who were typically the developers of computer hardware, software and video games. Public attitudes on violence and sexuality also contributed to the stereotyping of both young boys and girls, which was further reinforced through the narratives of the media.

  • Case History: Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? “A Mystery Exploration Game”
    Matt Waddell STS 145: Case History Professor Henry Lowood Word Count: 6500 Case History: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? “A Mystery Exploration Game” Brotherhood at Brøderbund In the summer of 1964, Doug Carlston attended a summer engineering program at Northwestern University: his first computer programming experience. He later worked at Harvard’s Aiken Computation laboratory, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1970 with a degree in social relations. In 1975 Carlston received his JD from Harvard law school and established his own law practice in Maine. But he continued to develop games for his Radio Shack computer – the TRS-80 Model 1 – during his college and attorney years. Doug’s programming efforts soon eclipsed his legal practice, and in 1979 he left Maine for Eugene, Oregon to join his younger brother Gary. Doug and Gary Carlston co-founded Brøderbund (pronounced “Brew-der-bund”) Software Inc. in 1980; relatives donated the entirety of their $7,000 in working capital. Indeed, the company’s name reflects its family-based origins – “Brøder” is a blend of the Swedish and Danish words for brother, and “bund” is German for alliance.1 Initially, the “family alliance” sold Doug’s software – Galactic Empire and Galactic Trader – directly to software retailers, but in the summer of 1980 Brøderbund secured an agreement with Japanese software house StarCraft that facilitated both the development and distribution of its arcade-style product line. In 1983 Brøderbund moved from Eugene, Oregon to Novato, California; the company boasted over 40 employees, and its software for the Apple II, Commoodore Vic 20, Commodore 64, and Atari 800 yielded millions of dollars in annual revenue.

    Todd Brown STS 145 Case History 3/22/2001 Why in the World is Carmen Sandiego a Success? In the beginning, computers were not much more than giant calculators. Corporations used them for complex calculations and eventually databases and spreadsheets. The machines also began to take on automated tasks and could handle them well. The giant mainframes were what were used, and companies like IBM bet their business strategy that this atmosphere of the computer industry would continue as such. Then, microchips started appearing, and, with them, those big old computers started to come in smaller sizes. Then, these little computers were showing up in people’s homes. It was when this started to happen that the magic of computers left the exclusive basements of office building and entered home users’ dens and living rooms. With that, a new market of possibilities opened up as these consumers sought software for their new home computers. One of the new areas that began to emerge from this shift was in educational software for children. Such software could provide parents and teachers a way to trick their children into learning something by hiding it behind an entertaining mask. This combination of education and entertainment formed the field of ‘edutainment’ software, and adults could not be more excited. After all, they saw how engrossed children became while playing computer and arcade games; if this level of concentration could be harnessed to teach the child something, imagine the possibilities! Unfortunately, the edutainment field fell rather flat. The reason for this lies in a fact that many people recognize yet seem to forget all too quickly: kids are much savvier than adults think.
