Oregon Trail was produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium in 1974. Notable Terms Gamification The application of game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts. Uber has used gamification to maximize their growth and reward drivers. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/04/02/tec hnology/uber-drivers-psychological-tricks.html?_r=0 Gamification vs Game Based Learning Infographic WHY GAMES? • GAMES AS EXPLORATORY “SAFE” SPACE • BUILT IN REWARD SYSTEMS • ACCESSIBLE LEARNING PLATFORM OPERATIONALIZED GAMES • GAMES WITH PURPOSE • SERIOUS GAMES _(SSB4) • PERSUASIVE GAMES Wii_Fit_Trainer / • GAMES FOR WELLBEING, MENTAL HEALTH, VS.

ZEB MATHEWS, MLIS ASSISTANT PROFESSOR AND RESEARCH AND LEARNING SERVICES LIBRARIAN UTHSC HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARY Special thanks to Setphanie Kinsler – Embeded Librarian MHIM 609 - concepts of research methodology Sajeesh Kumar – Informatics Professor Video Game Planning factors to consider 1. Game purpose Teach, Assess, Reinforce? 2. Target audience Undergrads, grad students, adult learners? 3. Technology Needs/Concerns/Limitations What tools will be needed to create the game? What platform/container to store game? How will game be distributed? Where will data be stored? Can it be easily collected? Student privacy concerns? 4. How can I measure game Effectiveness? User surveys? Analyze gameplay data? Game Creation: Unity Game Engine 2d and 3d game creation capabilities free to use option Editor- create dynamic virtual worlds in a rich, graphical user interface Scripting of events in the virtual world is used to create gameplay elements Cross platform tool- publish your work on MANY different platforms such as HTML5, PC, Mac, Android, Apple App, etc. Collaboration features- collaborate with project members online Graphic Elements Photoshop –edit finished image files Illustrator, Inkscape(free), etc.- 2d vector graphics creation software SpriterPro – 2d animation suite has features that integrate with unity brashmonkey.com ($60) Texture Packer –take sprites from an animation and makes sprite sheets you can use in unity (has a free version) Creative Commons licensed resources Video game implementation - Audio Initially wanted to record my own audio to narrate the game but due to time limitations that did not happen. (maybe for future projects) Exclusively used creative commons licensed resources for Music and Sound effects. Web Hosting/Data Collection GoDaddy.com – Zmtestservers.com Web hosting services and domain name Data collection –MySQL servers, create a MySQL database, and then run php scripts to record data Gameplay Data Data Recorded: Player score for each module Time spent playing each module Number
