Tema 1: Design af computerspil i undervisningen: Fra indfødt spiller til reflekteret designer
No full textHvad sker der i transformationen fra indfødt spiller til professionel designer af fremtidens lærerige computerspil? – og hvordan drager vi fordel af, at de kommende designere selv har en baggrund som indfødte i spilverdenen? En gruppe af studerende deltog i et kursus, hvor de skulle programmere spil. Det var målet, at de studerende skulle omsætte noget af deres erfaring som spillere til viden om design af spil. De studerende tilegnede sig desuden et mere professionelt forhold til hvad spil er, hvordan de er opbygget, og hvad der gør dem interessante.
Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i et konkret undervisningsforløb med første semesterstuderende fra uddannelsen lærings- og oplevelsesteknologi. Der introduceres konkrete eksempler på spil, som de studerende har udviklet. Og det diskuteres hvordan og hvad de studerende har lært i designprocessen.
Sammenfattende redegør artiklen for, disse studerendes rejse fra indfødte spillere til reflekterende spildesignere. Artiklen viser desuden, at der er et meget dynamisk frugtbart forhold mellem det at spille spil og det at designe spil

Teaching Design of Emerging Embodied Technologies
No full textHow does design of emerging embodied technologies enrich the HCI learning processes? Weintroduce a model for embodied interaction and use it in the development of a painting app forchildren, based on the motion sensor Asus Xtion Pro (similar to Kinect). The development of the appwas part of a HCI course for engineering students. The motion sensor was interesting as a design tool,because it appealed to full body interaction. The development exemplified and unfolded the embodiedelements: Multiple modalities, physical, bodily, social, and symbolic interaction in a situatedenvironment.Subsequently, we introduce a physical-digital toolbox, illustrating the span of parameters within themodel for embodied interaction: Robot Technology, Tangibles, Wearables, Interactive Surroundings,and Bigger Objects
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Expanding the Game Design Space – Teaching Computer Game Design in Higher Education
No full textThis article considers game design research in educational settings. Its focus is on how undergraduate students – particularly engineering students – learn computer game design. From observations conducted during our game design courses we have developed a model of expanded game design space. It encapsulates the entire development process from the first ideas to the final game with emphasis on game design thinking. Our model of expanded game design space consists of four separate – yet interconnected – layers in the process of game development. The first layer addresses the importance of framing, providing a clear game design assignment that involves the formulation of intended player experience and a description of game mechanics. The second layer focuses on game design thinking from six different aspects of game design chosen in relation to the framing of the game design assignment. The third layer establishes correspondence between formal elements of computer games and the structure of problem-based creativity. It addresses how game design challenges should be formulated and how creative solutions can be measured. The fourth and final layer demonstrates how clear framing can act as a guideline for evaluating game design thinking and for measuring solutions made in the development process. To strengthen our model of expanded design space, we will present examples from our game design courses
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
