Applying Game Design Principles to the Undergraduate Student Experience.

- The “Just Press Play” project aims to produce a proof-of-concept system that encourages student development through achievements and formative feedback. It conceives of the student experience as mirroring what Campbell (2003) has described as “the hero’s journey.”
- An achievement-based game system can encourage students to think of the “necessary obstacles” in their path as part of a coherent narrative of their learning and professional development. The game will be designed to help our “student-heroes” determine what tools they need in order to successfully navigate those obstacles (their “academic dragons”) along the way.
- We recognize, however, that the growing trend towards “gamification” of real-world activities has been rightly criticized by many game designers. (Deterding, 2010) Too often, these attempts consist of simply adding badges, points, and/or leaderboards to existing activities–with little consideration for the underlying issues of motivation, engagement, narrative, and play. These efforts frequently assume that badges and points are in and of themselves sufficient to engage and reward players, despite the fact that purely extrinsic rewards have been consistently shown to be ineffective–and even counterproductive–in cultivating engagement. (Pink, 2010)
- s Montola et al note in their book Pervasive Games Theory and Design (2010), these games “inhabit a game world that is present within the ordinary world, taking the magic circle wherever they go.” We intend for this game to take place online and in physical space. Students would play it in the classroom and the dining room, in shared spaces and alone in the confines of their head, on campus and off campus. The game will invite players to activate the spaces around them, encourage their interaction, and reward their engagement with the learning process.
- We will use achievements to measure and reward progress and accomplishment. The working title of the game–“Just Press Play”–reflects our commitment creating a truly engaging game experience, rather than to constructing a set of assignment-like tasks.
- Viewing another player’s achievements can provide a great deal of information about what that player’s values and strengths. Towards that end, we expect that students playing this game will be able to view the achievements of not only other students, but also faculty, and from that will begin to see what activities and competencies they might want to aspire to. If we think of the “choke points” described earlier as the “level bosses” in our game, the goal of this system will be to allow students to better understand what skills they need in order to successfully defeat those bosses, and to encourage their engagement in activities that will build those skills.
- We will embed game content in a variety of RIT systems, providing students with the opportunity to launch game-related activities in RIT’s courseware system, library databases, our co-op system site, and others. Students who have opted into the game will be able to see “hidden” content on these pages, and will have the option to activate that content to complete quests and earn achievements.
