them; once they are
interested, they
understand anything in
the world. –Orson Welles

Jeff Berkley PhD, CEO, Chairman & Founder | Mimic Technologies The Value of Robotics for Surgery Training Adopting new technologies can be very disruptive to operating room efficiency. This disruption is compounded when the technology is not easily accessible outside of the operating room for training. This is certainly the case for robot assisted surgery, which is gaining significant traction as an alternative to open surgery and traditional laparoscopic surgery. Simulation training has proven to be an effective alternative to learning “real time” on patients in the operating room. Most high-risk disciplines, such as aerospace, aviation, hazmat and military, require simulation for training and high stakes testing. However, medicine has been slow to embrace simulation in a meaningful way. Most hospitals do not enforce a structured simulation training curriculum or simulation testing for privileging and credentialing. However, the C-Suites of many hospital systems are now looking to simulation as a means of increasing OR efficiency while reducing surgical risk and costs. We therefore may be less than a decade away from a time where simulation testing will be required for surgeons as it is for pilots. Jeff Berkley, PhD, will present on efforts by Mimic Technologies to create a common simulation training platform for surgical robots. Mimic began developing simulation for Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci© robot in 2003 and has more recently adapted its simulation platform for use with many of the new robots pending FDA approval. Dr. Berkley will review current and future application of simulation to robot assisted surgery. The presentation will emphasize the utilization of data analytics for identifying and remediating high risk surgeons. Dr. Berkley will also discuss Mimic’s use of gamification for the purposes of encouraging surgeon engagement.

Erik Sand, Director of Strategic Relationships Dr. Thomas Carbone, Technical Director at UCF’s Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) Mike Eakins, Creative Lead | Mixed Emerging Technology Integration Lab (METIL) at UCF Institute for Simulation & Training Finding Partners in Applied Research – A Case Study on Industry/Academic Collaboration Sometimes financial, physical and content constraints on graduate programs force university researchers to be creative. This presentation talks about how FIEA faculty designed a class called GameLab to help expose students to Serious Games while simultaneously fostering lasting research and development partners outside traditional entertainment industry partners. We will talk about how the development life cycle of a simple handheld game that teaches cleaning protocols for hospital janitors in the VA hospital network helped develop a template for how FIEA now finds and interacts with industry partners. It is a case study to show how a project can move from relationship to MVP to full-on build and deployment of a robust application in the context FIEA’s student centric curriculum. UCF’s Institute for Simulation and Training then finished the final product for delivery to the VA. Orlando, University of Central Florida, UCF, July 24-26, 2019

In this talk we discuss insights from designing and studying immersive experiences aimed at improving early literacy outcomes through personalized learning, spanning virtual, augmented and mixed realities as well as non-immersive applications. Our serious games provide research evidence into how these varied media can enable adults (teachers, school leaders, families, and caregivers) to implement personalized literacy learning at the organizational and individual level. We will present lessons gained from designing experiences across immersive media such as 360 video, virtual environments with agents, mixed reality systems with human-in-the-loop characters (ex: Mursion https://mursion.com/), and augmented reality. We will also discuss approaches and takeaways for creating experiences intended to build empathy towards the unfamiliar (ex: our work on parents using VR to experience the world as young children with reading disabilities), experiences for detecting unconscious biases (ex: teachers educating a stimulated classroom of students in ways that may trigger innate biases), and experiences to contextually modify parental mindsets (ex: parents using augmented reality to alter their strategies for children’s literacy). Overall, we will present general lessons from building simulated authentic situations in which teachers and parents learn to overcome challenges in early literacy development. We will pause our talk/lecture occasionally for questions that enable brief small group interactions.

Jenn McNamara, Vice President | BreakAway Games Client-Centered Serious Game Design Serious game developers must consider client needs and constraints. To most, it is obvious that the end users’ desired training, behavior change, assessment, or experience outcomes shape the focus of the game. But the client organization’s funding, IT infrastructure, data needs, and personnel impact design as much, if not more, than end users’ needs. This session will share experiences where these factors significantly impacted game design and make recommendations for identifying and addressing these needs early in the design process.

Mitch Weisburgh, Partner | Academic Business Advisors and Scott Brewster, Co-Founder & CTO | Triad Interactive Media / Hats & Ladders DOUBLE SESSION: OODA OODA! How Rapid Iteration Can Help Level Up Your Gaming Business We are all involved in lots of complicated and complex situations. We deal with students and learning. We write, adapt, and use games for learning. We may be running businesses. One thing that all of these have in common is that we can’t just come up with a plan, execute and expect things to just work smoothly. Unexpected things happen, it’s often impossible to anticipate all possible situations, people react in unanticipated ways, there is often information we just don’t or can’t know in advance, the people we are working with have hidden agendas. Allies, antagonists, and resources shift and change. And so on. So, what are we supposed to do? We are going to explore a framework for managing solutions during periods of dynamic change. The OODA Loop Framework was developed by air force colonel John Boyd based on precepts developed by Sun Tzu, Napoleon, Heisenberg, Kyng, Einstein, Gödel, and others, and has been used by military, political, and business leaders around the world. You’ll learn to prepare for the unexpected, observe and react to actions and results, and pull together and manage a team despite adversity.

Birdie Champ, BS, M.Ed., Ed.S, Owner, Chief Product Officer | UXDiversity and Thorne Palmer, BA, M.Ed The UX of Serious Games: How to Impact a Wider Audience What elements are you measuring when determining the value of your serious game? There are many critical touchpoints a player (user) experiences that occur before, during, and after playing a game, from initial interest to post-game evangelism. Some serious game designs inadvertently block some users from ever playing. Some design elements can cause players to rage quit where others thrive. In this session we will explore three topics: First, we will explore a complete user’s experience (UX) of a serious game. Second, we will look closer at the users of serious games and break them into personas based on social, emotional, and cognitive differences in how they learn and how they play. Third, we will explore how to merge instructional design with game design with activities that bridge the varied experiences different users can have when engaging with similar challenges. By breaking down the UX into touch points, breaking down users into personas, and mitigating gaps in the varied qualities of user experiences, you will likely improve your game analysis, game quality, and broaden your customer segments.

Stuart Criley, COO and Dr. Jasminka Criley, CEO | Indelible Learning, Inc. Alphabet Soup Cans: Avoiding Bad Tropes of Educational Games Classroom games often struggle to make student tedium somehow less wearisome, with often comical results. Dropping math problems into the middle of a galactic space battle is just one egregious example. But the problem runs deeper than simple dissonance between game play and narrative: a bored student will tolerate even a very bad computer game, only because the alternative (listening to the teacher) is worse. Likewise, teachers may be tempted to outsource mundane instructional tasks to computers. Within this environment of perverse incentives, what is an ethical game developer to do? Rather than merely replacing activities that are already being done in the classroom, serious games are at their best when they transmit learning experiences that would be too expensive, impractical, or even dangerous to conduct in school by other means. One approach is to place learners in the roles of professionals and give them real-world scenarios that are easy to begin, but hard to win. In this session, learn how to partner with content experts to create compelling games that draw upon multiple disciplines, requiring critical thinking in teams to succeed. Finally, see how an Electoral College strategy game moved from prototype to successful deployment in the classroom.

Kade Wells | Teaching with Dungeons and Dragons Building Heroes: Using Roleplaying Game Design for Classroom Management, Reading Intervention, Interactive Fiction and Socio-emotional Growth Attendees will go through a mini-mock adventure that goes over the basics of bringing a classroom RPG to life. Using the D&D 5e basics, attendees will create a basic character and have to work together in groups to complete the objectives laid out before them. The objectives will focus on classroom implementation strategies, monster battles, and ways to fold lesson plans into the adventures. Once the adventure is finished, attendees have the opportunity to see examples of our work and others for classroom RPGs, and they can ask questions while beginning to formulate plans for their own adventure if wanted. For takeaways, we’ll have company-agnostic materials that teachers can either use or adapt. Some of the materials will include general curricular approaches, example adventures, materials for communicating with administrators and other stakeholders, and non-playable characters that they can use for example. We will put together a resource guide, and teachers will be able to communicate with us down the road if they need help or want to brainstorm.

Dennis Glenn, MFA, Adjunct Professor| DePaul University Graduate School for New Learning / President | Dennis Glenn LLC Augmented Reality: Revolutionary or Disruptor of Training and Assessment Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to revolutionize training and assessment. This technology innovation superimposes computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data onto a live or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment. The increasing need to scale education-based interactive learning to larger audiences thus mitigating the larger development costs, is where AR has a few potential revolutionary and disruption attributes that must be considered. Learning Objectives: Assessment needs to be done rigorously and methodologically, and AR technologies can provide multiple avenues to achieve this goal. Recall of knowledge is no longer a viable method to provide accurate validation of mastery. In order to assess competency, we need to understand what the learner needs to know and be able to do and then demonstrate their ability to perform these tasks. We will offer multiple solutions to this disruptor. Privacy and security of the data con be compromised using AR technologies. A few of the risks to be discussed are identity theft, invasion of privacy, and unequal access, thus increasing the inequality divide. We will lead a discussion of the avenues to reduce these risks. On the positive side we offer a number of effective solutions that lead to the demonstration of mastery. Using AR technology to disseminate education is a way to teach thousands of users across the globe while eliminating barriers to access, reducing costs, and ensuring consistency in quality and delivery.

Karen Burns, Asst. Coordinator of Faculty Development | The University of Alabama Enhancing New Employee Orientation with a Digital Scavenger Hunt Pervasive games are a burgeoning genre in which the affordances of mobile devices are used to extend the boundaries of digital games into the real world. This game genre leverages the GPS, photo, video, and texting capabilities of smart phone devices in order to create games that require location-dependent and context-sensitive interactions between the physical and virtual environments. One particular form of pervasive games is a digital scavenger hunt. This presentation will focus on the findings of a study in which a digital scavenger hunt was integrated into new employee orientation. The goal of the study is to determine if a digital scavenger hunt can be an effective means of enhancing the typical employee orientation by reinforcing information provided during the face-to-face sessions, introducing new information, reducing the stress new employees typically feel, and fostering employee competence. While this study is ongoing, data collection and analysis will be completed by May 2019. This session will report on the findings of this study and include a discussion of the successes and challenges of the study. Additionally, discussion will center on potential applications of a digital scavenger hunt being used as a means of learning through discovery.

In BC’s nearly-decade-old “new” curriculum, the curricular competencies describe the processes that students are expected to develop in areas of learning such as mathematics. They reflect the “Do” in the “Know-Do-Understand” model. Under the “Communicating” header falls the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.” Note that it contains two processes: “Explain mathematical ideas” and “Justify mathematical decisions.” I have broken it down into its separate parts in order to understand--or reveal--its meaning. The first part is commonplace in classrooms. By now, BC math teachers—and students—understand that “Explain mathematical ideas” means more than “Show your work.” Teachers consistently ask “What did you do?” and “How do you know?” This process is about retelling, not just of steps but of thinking. The second part happens less frequently. Think back to the last time that you observed a student make—a necessary precursor to justify—a mathematical decision. “Justify” is about defending. Like “explain,” it involves reasoning; unlike “explain,” it also involves opinion and debate. In order to reinterpret the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions,” I will continue to take apart its constituent part “Justify mathematical decisions” and carefully examine the term “mathematical decisions.” What, exactly, is a “mathematical decision”? Below, I will categorize answers to this question. These categories, and the provided examples, may help to suggest new opportunities for students to justify.
