CuriosityOur main motivation



• understanding complexity in SCM• use available information

(sentiment analysis)• simulation / automation• education

• academic teaching• vocational training

• fun, play, and passion


Why did we select Gamification?


Interest. And potential

Why did we select Gamification?




70% of Global 2000 have at least one Gamified application

50% of companies with innovative processes will gamifiy those processes

By 2015?

Gamification

Integrating game dynamics into your site, service, community, content or campaign,in order to drive participation.

Gamification


motivational elements of games + learning activities + communicate and share accomplishment + goals = direct the attention + motivate for action

Gamification


the use of game design elements in non-game contexts

Authenticiy, Authentic Learning, Realismnticity

authentic learning: require learning to occur within environments that replicate actions and requirements as they may be presented or experienced in a real working environment. Enables experiences and learning to be more contextualised. Thinking and problem solving, driven by student decision.

authenticity: often assumed to imply ‘realistic’, this is not necessarily the case; it is most important that the learning and activities reflect the development and use of the knowledge as required in the given real or virtual environments. Thus, a process can be highly authentic, but in a non-realistic setting.

realism: fidelity is a measure of resemblance to real environments; thus, high fidelity environments have a high degree of resemblance to real environments, where a very realistic simulation has been employed.

n-Dimensional Immersive Virtual Environment

• increase authenticity through inclusion of real-life complexity • use scenarios linked into a comprehensive supply chain • include gaming mechanisms to increase student engagement

Supply ChainA supply chain is a system of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. Supply chain activities transform natural resources, raw materials, and components into a finished product that is delivered to the end customer.

Difficult to observe for the learner

Long time-periods without events before the outcome of decisions becomes visible

Consequences that are not desirable to replicate in real-life environments

in Education and Training

Story

Story

Narratives• teacher / expert• „perfect“ solution• hard to beat

• exploration • guidance by bots

Gamification

rewind (Machinima, interactive)

time (break-down to sectors)

score (commands, meter, task switch)

comparison (self, friends, world)

ghost (learn from experts)next life (being able to „die“)

Slow motion (understanding processes)

Units are using ...

• real world data• link to theory• database with scenario descriptions

Units are ...• using information from previous steps• simulation results• keeping a track record

• using information from previous steps• simulation results• keeping a track record• progressing this through the complete supply chain

Units are ...
