6 Alan Turning & Claude Shannon Early Chess-Playing Programs In 1948, Turing and David Champernowne wrote Turochamp, a paper design of a chess-playing computer program. No computer of that era was powerful enough to host Turochamp. In 1950, Shannon published a paper on computer chess entitled Programming a Computer for Playing Chess *. The same algorithm has also been used to play blackjack and the stock market (with considerable success). *Programming a Computer for Playing Chess Philosophical Magazine, Ser.7, Vol. 41, No March 1950.

69 A Closer Look at Gaming
70 Computer games and game players: Why A lot of research into this, especially learning psychology. Two (related) often asked questions: 1. Why does someone voluntarily do the same repetitive task in a game over and over? 2. How can this enthusiasm / keenness / determination / focus be transferred to learning situations (or other thing we care about)?
71 and here s why (Question 1) Because games are difficult. In addition to completing the game, there is the challenge of figuring out what to do and how to do it i.e. mastering the game. They present a challenge (like crosswords, sudoko). They appeal our curiosity. Often a game presents instant feedback to the player on his or her actions.
72 The learning curve of a good computer game is: not too easy (will get bored) not too hard (will get frustrated) something that opens up new parts of the game (and provides other rewards ) in return for in-game skill development. encouraging a sense of just one more go in the player.
73 Learning using computer games
74 Computer games in learning: how? Games are widely used as educational tools, not just for pilots, soldiers and surgeons, but also in schools and businesses. Games require players to construct hypotheses, solve problems, develop strategies, learn the rules of the in-game world through trial and error. Gamers must also be able to juggle several different tasks, evaluate risks and make quick decisions. Playing games is, thus, an ideal form of preparation for the workplace of the 21st century, as some forward-thinking firms are already starting to realize. The Economist, August 4, 2005
75 Computer games in learning: where Major part of software market for schools Large numbers of computer games developed with curriculum relevance in mind: Audited against national and state curriculum Tested by teachers and educators Mainly in primary schools (age 4 to 12) but increasingly in secondary Smaller number of schools use COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) games such as Zoo Tycoon for cross-curricular learning.
76 Examples of computer Games in Education Historical simulations Planning and architecture Problem solving (instant response) Economics and financial management Literacy (major success with Myst) Physics (gravity, vectors, acceleration) Chemistry Cultural studies and religion Cross-curricula games tend to be very popular
77 Zoo Tycoon Build a zoo and populate it with animals Stay on budget Pay for feed, staff, animals, vets bills Used in schools for: Math Economics and finance Biology Ethics (should animals be caged?) Planning and design
78
79 Game simulators allow residents to gain handson training before operating on patients U.S. Army uses games for combat training and victims of Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Games for Corporate and Military Training
80 Scratch - Programming environment that leverages interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art Fold It! - Harnessing gamer s collective intelligence for understanding how proteins fold Games for Advancing STEM Sciences
81 BudgetBall - designed to increase awareness of the national debt and promote fiscal responsibility EnerCities - first Facebook game about energy resources and the balance between people, planet and profit Games for Economic and Environmental Sustainability
82 3rd World Farmer - players learn to contend with disasters, wars, poor medical care, and unfair prices Raise the Village - Players purchase virtual goods, which are delivered to the real Kapir Atiira village in Uganda Games for Global Conflict and Social Development
83 Computer Games in Health Pain relief and distraction Rehabilitation Surgery skill increase Diabetes awareness Easing carpal tunnel syndrome Mental health and sharpness Acting out domestic and social situations Social and communication development

101 What s happening cognitively? Socially & materially distributed cognition. Collaborative problem solving, multiple problem spaces. Coordination of people, (virtual) tools, artifacts, & text. Constellation of literacy practices across multimedia, multimodal attentional spaces (Lemke).
102 What s happening cognitively? Empirical model building (exploits, mods). Negotiation of meaning & values within community. Authoring of identities within & beyond the community.
103 Information searching within the game Textual clues rare inside the game Clues are often abstract or symbolic Often a time-critical element for finding information ( must work out how to do X before Y happens ) Clues are often recursive: Do A to find B to give to C who will give you D etc Gamer can thus mentally keep track of: several things that need to be done status of current objectives people places information items

124 And some progess
125 Result of Gendered Gaming? Proliferation of male genres FPS, horror, pornographic, sports simulations Magazine ads targeting male gamers A possible reason for the dramatic decline in the participation of women in computing in general Computer-generated women often exploited as sexual objects Virtual sex in games, in which computergenerated women are exploited
