STAGE Paidia · 'MyCraft': An Educational Video Game on Disability in Classical Antiquity - Paidia‚MyCraft‘ is a conceptual design for an educational video game (serious game) that explores the representation of disability in ancient civilizations, focusing on Greece, Rome, and Etruria. The article, which aims to present the basic ideas of the game under development, is divided into three parts: the cultural and historical framework, the educational approach of the game design and the intended impact on the players. The first section discusses the reinterpretation of historical perspectives, emphasizing how mythological characters with disabilities were often portrayed as sources of strength and wisdom. The second section discusses the game design and its mechanics, which incorporate historical artifacts, puzzles, and dialog to promote empathy and challenge modern stereotypes of disability. The final section describes the potential educational impact of ‚MyCraft‘, particularly its ability to encourage young audiences to consider disability as a contingent social construct shaped by time and culture. Although still in the conceptual stage, ‚MyCraft‘ aims to provide an immersive platform that combines storytelling and interactive gameplay to promote inclusivity and historical awareness. This innovative approach seeks to change the way we perceive disability, both in the past and in contemporary society.

Je crée un jeu de société sérieux dans le but de former à l'utilisation des IA génératives. Il y aura une version entreprise (ie. administratif, commercial, RH) et une version éducation (ie. collège, lycée). L'objectif principal est de reconnaître dans quelle situation il est utile ou non d'utiliser un #LLM , tout en sensibilisant aux risques, biais et limites.

Je vois beaucoup ici de détracteurs incitant jusqu'à boycotter l'utilisation des #iageneratives. Discutons-en.

Wer sich mal spielerisch mit der #Elektrotechnik beschäftigen möchte, dem sei folgendes #SeriousGame aus Cambridge empfohlen:

wiredthegame.com

"Wired is an atmospheric puzzle-platform game where you must wire up electrical circuits to get through. It is built on a realistic physical model of electricity and so by playing the game, you will also learn how electricity behaves. It will run on Windows or Mac computers. The browser version is a quick way to get playing."

Wie werten soziale Medien unsere Daten aus? Wie beeinflussen Algorithmen die Meinungsbildung? Und welche Rolle spielen dabei kommerzielle Interessen?🤔 Das lernen Schülerinnen & Schüler beim Spiel „The Feed“ der LFK #BW. Staatssekretärin Sandra Boser sagte bei der Präsentation in Stuttgart: „Serious Games wie The Feed ermöglichen es, komplexe Themen wie Künstliche Intelligenz und Algorithmen auf anschauliche Weise zu behandeln.“

Being at #SoCraTes2024 there will be game sessions. Yeah 😃

This brought me to reflect on what I wish from a game for learning.

  • it should be cooperative (I believe learning as well as many or even most other thing are a team effort, competition destroys this)
  • I would like it to be a #SeriousGame and should not use #Gamification (gamification in my experience it replaces real learning with a quick dopamine fix)
  • I prefer it to be non-digital. We sit in front of a computer for far too long, so a break is good. At the same time this enables other forms of cooperation.

🥁 Et voici 🎲 Escape from PharmaZ 📲, un #SeriousGame hybride 😎 pour enseigner le concept de pharmacophore #chimie ⚗ à l'université.

Ce jeu a été imaginé et développé par une équipe chimistes (menée par Olivier Delalande) de l' Université de Rennes, pendant ma formation #ludifikaction, coanimé avec @bmarne #LIUM .

Les premiers tests avec des volontaires sont très encourageants. J'ai hâte de voir ce que cela donne en classe.

Gestern Abend habe ich mir im #GETtoKnow-Stream auch die restlichen Level des #SeriousGame-Spiels #KirchhoffsRevenge von Gerd Kortemeyer et al. (2018) angeschaut und das Spiel damit am Stück einmal komplett durchgespielt.

Hier ist dazu die Aufzeichnung von "Ich spiele Kirchhoff's Revenge zu den Grundlagen der Elektrotechnik" bei #Twitch:

Continued thread

Bisheriges Fazit von #KirchhoffsRevenge als #SeriousGame:
- optisch, atmosphärisch und von der Geschichte ganz nett
- Gameplay teilweise etwas hakelig
- 3D-Welt macht das Bauen von typischerweise 2D-Schaltkreisen etwas aufwendig
- trotzdem nicht überladen mit Theorie

Fürs nächste Mal muss ich mir merken, anderen Einstellungen in Zoom zu verwenden oder über OBS zu streamen, damit das Bild nicht so ruckelig wird.

Außerdem habe ich gestern nicht das Original-Audio in Zoom aktiviert. #GETtoKnow
