The impact of a simulation game on operations management education

This study presents a new simulation game and analyzes its impact on operations management education. The proposed simulation was empirically tested by comparing the number of mistakes during the first and second halves of the game. Data were gathered from 100 teams of four or five undergraduate students in business administration, taking their first course in operations management. To assess learning, instead of relying solely on an overall performance measurement, as is usually done in the skill-based learning literature, we analyzed the evolution of different types of mistakes that were made by students in successive rounds of play. Our results show that although simple decision-making skills can be acquired with traditional teaching methods, simulation games are more effective when students have to develop decision-making abilities for managing complex and dynamic situations.

An online game approach for improving students’ learning performance in web-based problem-solving activities

In this paper, an online game was developed in the form of a competitive board game for conducting web-based problem-solving activities. The participants of the game determined their move by throwing a dice. Each location of the game board corresponds to a gaming task, which could be a web-based information-searching question or a mini-game; the former was used to guide the participants to search for information to answer a series of questions related to the target learning issue, while the latter was used to provide supplementary materials during the gaming process. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, an experiment was conducted on an elementary school natural science course. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach not only significantly promoted the flow experience, learning attitudes, learning interest and technology acceptance degree of the students, but also improved their learning achievements in the web-based problem-solving activity.

Assessing fraction knowledge by a digital game

Serious or educational games gain increasing research interest as tools to augment traditional instructional approaches on scholastic learning, especially in mathematics education. In this study, we investigated whether game-based approaches may not only be useful to foster numerical learning but may also be valid as an assessment tool. To measure their conceptual knowledge of fractions eleven-year-old students played a math game on tablet computers using tilt-control to navigate an avatar along a number line for a total of 30 min. Findings indicated that hallmark effects of fraction magnitude processing typically observed in basic research, such as the numerical distance effect, were successfully replicated using the game-based assessment. Moreover, fraction comparison performance as well as fraction estimation accuracy correlated significantly with students' math grades. Therefore, the results of the current study suggest that game-based learning environments for fraction education (even using tilt-control) may also allow for a valid assessment of students’ fraction knowledge.     

Analysis of a simple capacity game

We study a two‐player two‐fare‐class static single‐period capacity allocation game with complete information. Nonnested (partitioned) booking limit policies are investigated in both noncooperative and cooperative situations. We show the existence of unique Nash equilibrium in the noncooperative situation. In the cooperative game, we analyze the cost saving of the two players and investigate the concavity of the objective function. For both noncooperative and cooperative settings, we assume the demands to be a truncated normal distribution and provide a comprehensive sensitivity analysis to discover the effects of unit revenue, rejection cost, and transfer rate on the equilibrium solution. Our numerical experiments show that the nonnested model can be a good approximation to the nested booking limit model. For the cooperative setting, we identify conditions that give rise to improvements in the total system revenue. Finally, under each game‐theoretic setting, we present the managerial implications of our solutions along with numerical examples.

Interactive movie elements in a pervasive game

This paper presents our research initiatives around new user experiences in the area of pervasive mixed reality crossmedia gaming. In a prototypical game, The Epidemic Menace, we combined static and interactive story telling elements to create a mixed reality experience. As part of this research initiative we also investigated how elements of the real world and virtual worlds could produce a new environment where physical and digital objects can co-exist and interact with each other, we wanted to evaluate how linear stories could be integrated into a game flow and how they could be used to extend game experiences. A new form of interactive entertainment that is not limited to hardware based games or linear storylines but includes a truly interactive TV experience was one of our goals.

A survey on cross-discipline of control and game

In recent years, the cross discipline of game theory and the control theory has been emerging. This paperwill survey this newly growing direction. First, the development from optimization of control systems to games consisting of multi-purpose controls is introduced, which demonstrates the close relationship between control theory and game theory. Secondly, the control-oriented game is considered. Three kinds of problems are discussed in details: i) Learning strategy in game theory, which is basically the same as the adaptive control; ii) state space approach for control systems is applied to evolutionary games; and iii)machine-human game is treated as the optimal control problem. Finally, after introducing some new results on potential games, the game-based control is studied. Three kind of control problems using potential games are investigated: i) The consensus of multi-agent systems is considered; ii) the maximization of the distributed coverage of multi-agents on a graph is discussed; and iii) the congestion control is investigated using congestion game technology. Some other game-based control problems are also briefly introduced. A prediction for the control systems in next generation is presented in conclusion.     

Space bounds for a game on graphs

We study a one-person game played by placing pebbles, according to certain rules, on the vertices of a directed graph. In [3] it was shown that for each graph withn vertices and maximum in-degreed, there is a pebbling strategy which requires at mostc(d) n/logn pebbles. Here we show that this bound is tight to within a constant factor. We also analyze a variety of pebbling algorithms, including one which achieves the 0(n/logn) bound.Research partially supported by DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Grant No. 430/402/563/5 (W.J.P.)Research partially supported by National Science Foundation grant MCS75-22870 and Office of Naval Research contract N0014-76-C-0688 (R.E.T. and J.R.C.).Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted for any purpose of the United States Government.     

DELIVER! - An educational game for teaching Earned Value Management in computing courses

Context

To meet the growing need for education in Software Project Management, educational games have been introduced as a beneficial instructional strategy. However, there are no low-cost board games openly available to teach Earned Value Management (EVM) in computing programs.

Objective

This paper presents an educational board game to reinforce and teach the application of EVM concepts in the context of undergraduate computing programs complementing expository lessons on EVM basics.

Method

The game has been developed based on project management fundamentals and teaching experience in this area. So far, it has been applied in two project management courses in undergraduate computing programs at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. We evaluated motivation, user experience and the game’s contribution to learning through case studies on Kirkpatrick’s level one based on the perception of the students.

Results

First results of the evaluation of the game indicate a perceived potential of the game to contribute to the learning of EVM concepts and their application. The results also point out a very positive effect of the game on social interaction, engagement, immersion, attention and relevance to the course objectives.

Conclusion

We conclude that the game DELIVER! can contribute to the learning of the EVM on the cognitive levels of remembering, understanding and application. The illustration of the application of EVM through the game can motivate its usefulness. The game has proven to be an engaging instructional strategy, keeping students on the task and attentive. In this respect, the game offers a possibility to complement traditional instructional strategies for teaching EVM. In order to further generalize and to strengthen the validity of the results, it is important to obtain further evaluations.

Learning and motivational impacts of a multimedia science game

The power of a web-based forensic science game to teach content and motivate STEM careers was tested among secondary students. More than 700 secondary school students were exposed to one of the three web-based forensic cases for approximately 60 min. Gain scores from pre-test to a delayed post-test indicated significant gains in content knowledge. In addition, the game’s usability ratings were a strong predictor of learning. A positive relationship between role-play experience and science career motivation was observed, which suggests a role for authentic virtual experiences in inspiring students to consider STEM careers.     

Effectiveness of using a video game to teach a course in mechanical engineering

One of the core courses in the undergraduate mechanical engineering curriculum has been completely redesigned. In the new numerical methods course, all assignments and learning experiences are built around a video/computer game. Students are given the task of writing computer programs to race a simulated car around a track. In doing so, students learn and implement numerical methods content. The design of the course, around a video game, is rooted in commonly accepted theories of how people learn. The article describes a study to assess the effectiveness of the video game-based course. Results show that students taking the game-based course, on average, spend roughly twice as much time, outside of class, on their course work. In a concept mapping exercise, students taking the game-based course demonstrate deeper learning compared to their counterparts taking traditional lecture/textbook-based numerical methods courses.
