Educational contexts • Formal education (from kindergarten to college)

• Informal education (museums, cultural sites, aquariums and

zoos,…)

• Distance or electronic learning (both self-instruction and computer-mediated learning)

• Vocational training (industry, medicine, military,…)

• Special needs education (both physical and cognitive disabilities)

HCI Perspective on Serious Game Design

• Know your users: - Who are they? What are their abilities? What are their

preferences? - consider entry barriers (e.g. is a Facebook game a good idea

if your users are not familiar with Facebook?)

- remember that a game is not fun or engaging per se • Learn more about the psychology of games:

- Just adding some badges and points or nice graphics to a human activity is not going to be enough

• Follow a user-centered design process: - Storyboarding, rapid prototyping, pilot testing,

quantitative and qualitative evaluation on players,…

The need for reliable theoretical  foundations  on…

• Game and play… For example: - Caillois’ classification (Agon, Alea, Vertigo, Mimesis) - Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow theory

• …Education… For example: - zone of proximal development - constructivism

• …and beyond… - literary analysis, film studies, drama, storytelling,…

User Studies at the HCI Lab

• All traditional measurements (user’s performance and subjective questionnaires)

• PLUS analysis of: – Skin conductance – Cardiac parameters – Respiratory parameters – Body temperature – EMG (electromyography – facial and body) – EEG (electroencephalography) – fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)
