"Flipped, Agile, Gamiformed Pedagogy for Game Design" By Bill Guschwan - Serious Play Conference 2012
Bill Guschwan speaks about "Flipped, Agile, Gamiformed Pedagogy for Game Design" at the 2012 Serious Play Conference
ABSTRACT:
I define a serious game methodology that I use at Columbia College to teach introduction to programming and the senior capstone game design class. I define "gamiform" as a method that constrains, facilitates, and motivates user behavior around a goal. Gamiforming as applied to education is a set of serious game techniques using the guiding philosophy that education is a form of life with a goal. One gamiforming technique guides student behaviour by constraining the space around a pedagogical goal. Another gamiform technique facilitates face-to-face contact through in-class quizzes and peer-to-peer discussions. For software teams, Scrum meetings are situated around a fictional campfire in order to increase energy of the team. Another gamiforming technique facilitates creativity by using the McCarthy technology protocols, which emphasize emotional alignment and self-awareness. Gamiform is an appropriation of Ludwig Wittgenstein's "lebensform" and science fiction’s "terraform".
