Yasin:

I think more educational games need to be developed for different undergraduate and graduate programmes. The literature shows that games are like second nature to digital natives, so we need to capitalize on this interest and use it in our higher education environment in an innovative way. For example, to ligthen topics like academic research, we can use a game instead of on online quiz like in the attached.

Many thanks,

Debra

I believe that special attention should be given in the Universities to topics related to the development of video games, in related subjects, as well as to apply Artificial Inteligence

Duke vs Madey. Do universities really want to be sued for patent/IP infringement? What is the purpose of a university (see Newman in the late 1800s)? Most universities thinkthat they are immune to IP infringement actions because they are 'poor'. The land and the buildings show that they are not. Thus they are plump targets. If you are in academia, then think deeply about what your institution is doing and why. A quick buck is not worth erasure. Your value to society is NOT in making a few dollars from an IP transfer. Wake up. Your naievity is painful.

In the Netherlands, we set up a Mayors Game with TNO, a Research Institute. The game consists of a serious game which asks the chairman of a crisis team to take decisions in a simplified scenario with 8 dilemma's. It truly helped mayors to get used to the dilemmas they face during crises. You can google on 'mayors game'.
