Following last weeks KIN Roundtable on Knowledge Assets, Steve Robson of Lloyds Register has shared the following amazing digital docs (you will need Flash enabled on your computer).I can't imagine the development and effort that went into these.iPad optimised no doubt!
The inspiration for this first event on Serious Games comes from Jane McGonigal's TED talk on Serious Games, and David Helgason's declaration of the 'Year of Gamification'.
The event will examine how games and games technologies are being brought into 'serious' areas, as well as how serious tasks are being made more game-like. There are three ways that games can be adopted by other sectors:
* by generating positive side effects from gameplay;
* by creating technology that can be reused;
* and by increasing engagement with a problem or activity.
Mary Matthews from Blitz Games Studios and Alex Fleetwood from Hide and Seek, will discuss future opportunities and the event will be chaired by Stian Westlake, Director of Policy & Research Unit, NESTA.
