Embracing Artificial Intelligence in Education: Falmouth University's Innovative Approach
Get PDFFalmouth University in Cornwall is accepting artificial intelligence as an innovative toolset for education, adopting an “embrace and understand” position. This will ensure our students not only benefit from its rapid growth but also become aware of its dangers; including the consequences of over-reliance on technology over personal knowledge and skills. Its adoption is guided by three principles: authenticity; responsibility; and accountability. In service of authenticity, course teams will track the evolution of assessment practices in line with novel technologies students will encounter in the future. In service of responsibility, academics will need to consider how to integrate artificial intelligence into learning experiences to avoid undermining the learning outcomes they seek to asses and students will need to avoid undermining the development of their own competencies. In service to accountability, the institution will convey strong messaging to students regarding the professionalism of their creative practice and how to evidence their craft. Towards this end, clear baseline boundaries about what is and what is not acceptable in our assessments are being drafted and communicated. In the longer term, we seek to explore strategies for robust assessment, harnessing artificial intelligence to enhance the student experience and respond to the change in the labour market

Typologies and Features of Play in Mobile Games for Mental Wellbeing
Get PDFBackground: The smartphone market is saturated with apps and games purporting to promote mental wellness. There has been a significant number of studies assessing the impact of these digital interventions.
Motivation. The majority of review papers solely focussed on the impact of strict rules and award systems of the apps. There is comparatively little attention paid to other game techniques designed to encourage creativity, a lusory attitude, and playful experiences.
Results. This gap is addressed in this paper in a consideration and analysis of a purposive selection of six mobile games marketed for wellbeing, our focus is on both external and internal motivations that these games offer. Our specific interest is how these games balance rule-based play with creativity. We find that ludic play is a highly-structured, rule-bound, goal-oriented play, in contrast to paedic play which a freeform, imaginative, and expressive. We argue that while ludic play is purposed towards the promotion of habit formation and generates feelings of accomplishment, it nonetheless relies heavily on extrinsic motivation to incentivise engagement. By contrast, paidic play, specifically role-playing, improvisation, and the imaginative co-creation of fictional game worlds, can be used effectively in these games to facilitate self-regulation, self-distancing, and therefore provides intrinsically-motivated engagement.
In the context of games for mental wellbeing, ludic play challenges players to complete therapeutic exercises, while paidic play offers a welcoming refuge from real world pressures and the opportunity to try on alternate selves.
Conclusion: Our intention is not to value paidic play over ludic play, but to consider how these two play modalities can complement and counterbalance each other to generate more effective engagement
