When people talk about games and play the first thing that comes to mind is normally “fun”. However, by focusing primarily on positive emotional experiences, are we missing out on potential opportunities to elicit more in-depth engagement with a particular issue or domain? In this talk, I will discuss a range of approaches to developing playful technologies that aim to persuade people to think and act in different ways.
Learning process has been constrained in closed classrooms with little connection to the outside world. But effective learning occurs when we interact with the world around us through memorable experiences that motivate our students. In this keynote I will talk about the PlayVisit case, and how, from the BEACONING R+D+i project, we have set up a platform to create educational gaming experiences that mix physical and digital worlds in the edtech market.
