Podcasts about serious games

Thomas und Mathias sind in der Stadtbibliothek und sprechen über Serious Games, also Spiele bei denen man was lernt.

Linda Rustemeier, eLearning-Expertin und wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, zeigt, wie Gamification und Serious Games vom Sprachlernen bis zur Radikalisierungsprävention längst Alltag und Bildung prägen: "[...] das Ziel ist einfach, die Motivation zu steigern, indem Alltagstrott spielerischer wird."

In dieser Folge des OG Panzer Podcasts sprechen wir mit Stefan Bühler über Wargaming, taktische Ausbildung und Serious Games in der militärischen Ausbildung. Stefan Bühler hat für die OG Panzer eine eigene Serie von analogen Wargames entwickelt: von «Feuer und Bewegung» über «Häuser- und Ortskampf» bis hin zu «Kampf der verbundenen Waffen». In dieser Folge bleibt es aber nicht bei der Theorie: Gemeinsam spielen wir mehrere Spielzüge direkt auf einem echten Spielbrett durch und zeigen, wie taktische Entscheidungen, Gelände, Feuer, Bewegung und Gegnerverhalten im Spiel sichtbar werden.Dabei wird deutlich, warum Wargames mehr sind als reine Unterhaltung. Sie schaffen einen Raum, in dem militärische Führer Entscheidungen unter Unsicherheit treffen, Varianten abwägen und die Konsequenzen ihres Handelns unmittelbar erleben können. Gerade weil ein intelligenter Gegner auf der anderen Seite sitzt, entstehen Diskussionen, Reflexion und ein besseres Verständnis für taktische Grundsätze.Wir sprechen darüber, wie solche Spiele in der Ausbildung eingesetzt werden können, weshalb analoge Wargames trotz Abstraktion einen grossen Mehrwert bieten und warum sie bestehende Ausbildungsformen wie Gefechtsschiessen, Übungen oder digitale Simulationen sinnvoll ergänzen können.Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem praktischen Durchspielen einzelner Situationen: Wann wird gefeuert, wann wird bewegt? Wie wirkt sich Gelände aus? Wie entsteht Druck auf den Gegner? Und wie verändert sich die Lage, wenn der Plan nicht so aufgeht wie gedacht?Wer das Spiel selbst ausprobieren möchte: Die Wargames von Stefan Bühler sind bei uns im Shop erhältlich. Damit können taktische Entscheidungsprozesse, Führung und der Kampf der verbundenen Waffen auch ausserhalb der Folge direkt am Spielbrett erlebt werden.Zum Shop: https://www.ogpanzer.ch/shopJetzt reinhören und erleben, wie Wargaming militärisches Denken, taktische Ausbildung und den Kampf der verbundenen Waffen greifbar macht.

Grab our Core Drives in the Wild guide for free professorgame.com/WildCD What if the secret to solving real-world isolation or preventing misconduct wasn't more rules, but better play? Sharon Wood, a veteran gaming executive who helped launch the original Grand Theft Auto, joins us to discuss her shift from commercial hits to "Serious Games" with a scientific edge. We explore the neurological reality that the brain cannot distinguish between real and virtual experiences, making games a potent tool for building empathy and confidence. From memory care apps that reunite families to clinical trials in schools, this episode moves past the "points and badges" surface of gamification to show how progressive mastery actually changes lives. Sharon Wood is a seasoned gaming executive with over four decades of experience spanning sports marketing, entertainment, media, and video game development. Her career began in the fast-paced world of sports and entertainment marketing before she entered the gaming industry in 1996 during PlayStation's early days, where she orchestrated groundbreaking partnerships between major brands like Pepsi and Frito-Lay and video games. Most notably, Sharon launched the original Grand Theft Auto on a modest marketing budget. While defending the controversial title in the media, she consulted with psychologists and discovered something surprising: games could actually provide safe environments for exploring moral concepts rather than encouraging negative behaviors. This revelation changed everything. Inspired by gaming's positive potential, Sharon collaborated with a psychologist around 2012-2013 to create "Luminous," a game designed to help women and girls build self-confidence. Within months of launch, it became a top-five app in 34 countries. This success led Sharon to found Happy People Games (HPG), a company dedicated to creating "serious games": interactive experiences that merge scientific evidence with engaging gameplay to deliver real-world benefits beyond entertainment. Unlike simple gamification with badges and points, HPG builds games that create progressive mastery experiences, harnessing the natural reward response from achievement and channeling it toward positive outcomes. Rob Alvarez is Head of Engagement Strategy, Europe at The Octalysis Group (TOG), a leading gamification and behavioral design consultancy. A globally recognized gamification strategist and TEDx speaker, he founded and hosts Professor Game, the #1 gamification podcast, and has interviewed hundreds of global experts.

Clark Aldrich returns to the show to dismantle the "expert-led" model of management and education. He introduces Socratic Cards: a physical tool designed to replace passive consumption with active, high-stakes inquiry. By shifting the responsibility of learning from the teacher to the learner, Clark explains how organizations can transition from "easily replaceable employees" to "heroic tribes" that thrive on peer mentorship and meaningful challenges. Clark Aldrich is a past guest (episode 94 and 127) and is the award-winning creator/author/founder of Short Sims, Unschooling Rules, The Complete Guide to Simulations and Serious Games, and Gartner's eLearning coverage.

What happens when you drop generative AI into the middle of a liberal arts curriculum? This week on Off Center, Scott sits down with Davis Schneiderman at Lake Forest College to find out. We dive into the HUMAN project, a campus-wide experiment putting AI tools directly into the hands of humanities students and professors. Instead of panicking or running from the tech, Davis argues that writers, artists, and historians need to get their hands dirty with AI to actually understand and critique it. From historical Chicago chatbots to the future of experimental fiction, this conversation explores why the creative critical thinking skills taught in the humanities are our best defense in an AI-driven world.References Burroughs, W.

Helen Begovic ist Entwicklerin bei Playing History, einem der erfolgreichsten Spielestudios im deutschsprachigen Raum, wenn es um Serious Games geht. Halt, Stopp, nein nein, damit sind nicht die trockenen EDV-Produktionen gemeint, die ihr noch aus eurer Stadtbücherei kennt, sondern hochwertig produzierte Spiele, die oft ernste und komplexe Themen unterhaltsam aufbereiten. Helens Weg zu Playing History ist so kurvenreich und spannend, dass er hier als roter Faden für das Gespräch mit Dom Schott dient. Gemeinsam sprechen sie über Auslandsjahre in Indien, Prakti-Erfahrungen unter berüchtigten Arbeitsbedingungen bei Daedalic und schließlich den Sprung nach Berlin. Und entlang des Weges warten immer wieder Einblick in die Arbeitsrealitäten der Spielebranche, die man sich manchmal doch ganz anders vorstellen würde.

Dans ce nouvel épisode d'Insight, nous recevons Pierre-Alain Gagne, gérant et cofondateur de DOWiNO. Nous revenons avec lui sur la manière dont son studio de serious games, lancé il y a 12 ans, utilise la gamification pour des projets à impact social, environnemental et sociétal. Entre engagement, émotions et mécaniques de jeu, il nous explique pourquoi gamifier des contenus à visée de formation, de sensibilisation et d'éducation peut agir sur leur efficacité et créer des changements de comportement. Comment bien utiliser les mécaniques ludiques sans tomber dans le gadget ? Quelles différences entre serious games digitaux et jeux physiques ? Pourquoi la narration et l'émotion sont-elles essentielles pour traiter des sujets RSE, de santé ou de handicap ? Et surtout, comment mesurer l'impact réel de ces dispositifs gamifiés ?

As I was listening to an episode of the Ludology podcast recently, one focused on games and health, I started to think about how much the people we play with influence our gameplay experience. Selecting board games based on the audience is much more important than we may like to believe. Get it wrong, and you have one player rebelling and playing opposite to expectations, another disengaging completely, and the overall mood shifting from playful enjoyment to uncomfortable tension. In this article, I want to discuss how a mismatch can impact the enjoyment of the whole group, alter the tone of reviews, and even affect playtest outcomes.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2025/12/30/socially-afflicted-how-people-affect-gameplay-experience-topic-discussion/Useful LinksLudology podcast episode 351, Better Health Through Gaming: https://ludology.libsyn.com/ludology-351-better-health-through-gamingPandemic review: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/01/18/pandemic-saturday-review/Amit Bar's and Tobias Otterbring's study “The role of culture and personality traits in board game habits and attitudes” in the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969698921000722Qian Zhang's, JiaLe Ruan's and DingYong Xiong's study “Differential effects of exposure to cooperative versus competitive games on sharing behavior in young children" in Frontiers in Psychiatry: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12268353/Bez Shahriari's reflections on playtesting behaviour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bez_ShahriariBoard Game Design Lab: https://boardgamedesignlab.com/Mahiro Egashira's, Daisuke Son's and Arisa Ema's study “Serious Game for Change in Behavioral Intention Toward Lifestyle Related Diseases” in JMIR Serious Games: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35188465/Ramy Hammady's and Sylvester Arnab's review “Serious Gaming for Behaviour Change, A Systematic Review” in Information: https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/13/3/142MusicIntro Music: Bomber (Sting) by Riot (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Music: "Epic Inspiration" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Galaxy" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comMusic: "Legend" by AShamaluevMusic.Website: https://www.ashamaluevmusic.comSupportIf you want to support this podcast financially, please check out the links below:Ko-Fi: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/TabletopGamesBlog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/tabletopgamesblog⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tabletopgamesblog.com/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Il voulait créer des jeux vidéo.Il a inventé ceux qui font progresser le monde. Quand Laurent AUNEAU lance son entreprise en 2002, il n'a qu'une idée en tête : faire du jeu vidéo son métier.→ Il a 24 ans,→ Il rêve de pixels et de gameplay,→ Il crée Succubus Interactive.Mais très vite, la réalité le rattrape : Financer un jeu, c'est un parcours d'obstacles. Alors il pivote. Par nécessité d'abord, puis par conviction.En 2007, il découvre que ce qu'il crée a un nom : Serious game. Des jeux conçus pour :→ Former sans ennuyer,→ Sensibiliser sans culpabiliser,→ Promouvoir sans matraquer.Objectif : que le message passe… Et que l'utilisateur prenne plaisir à le recevoir. SUCCUBUS INTERACTIVE, devenu LUDICIUS INTERACTIVE, devient un pur player du serious game. En digital uniquement.Avec une obsession : la qualité de l'expérience.

In dieser Folge ist Angelika Weis zu Gast und stellt das „Vielfalter" Serious Game vor – ein moderiertes Kartenspiel, das Diversity- und Teamthemen spielerisch und doch tiefgründig behandelt. Gemeinsam sprechen wir über Leichtigkeit in schweren Gesprächen, blinde Flecken in der Zusammenarbeit und warum man das Tool nicht einfach bestellen kann.

Computerspiele sind doch nur was für Jugendliche? Von wegen! Immer mehr Menschen über 60 tummeln sich an den Konsolen, PCs oder Smartphones – mit wachsender Begeisterung. Warum das so ist? Weil Zocken nicht nur Spaß macht, sondern auch das Gehirn auf Trab bringt, Stress abbaut und sogar neue Kontakte ermöglicht. In der neuen Folge „Gesellschaft besser machen“ sprechen Psychologin Diana Huth und Technologie-Experte Tilo Mentler über die wachsende Community der Silver Gamer, räumen mit Vorurteilen auf und zeigen, warum man nie zu alt ist zum Spielen. Neugierig geworden? Dann jetzt reinhören – es lohnt sich! Tilo Mentler ist Professor für Human Computer Interaction und User Experience an der Hochschule Trier.

Games, die sich schwierigen, ernsten Themen widmen, hat man vor 20 Jahren als "Serious Games" bezeichnet. Ein wenig später hieß es "Games with a purpose". Heute braucht es diese Labels nicht mehr. Aktuelle Computerspiele, die sich in schwierige gesellschaftliche, politische, soziale Gefilde wagen, sind heute bemerkenswerter denn je. Anlass sind die aktuellen Titel "The Darkest Files" und "Wednesdays". Rainer Sigl und Robert Glashüttner sprechen in dieser Ausgabe des FM4 Game Podcast ausführlich dazu. Außerdem: Mehr zu "Assassin's Creed Shadows", das nun in der FM4-Rezension vorliegt. (Folge #155) Sendungshinweis: FM4 Game Podcast, 27.

What is Game Literacy?On today's episode, we'll answer the question: What is Game Literacy? We don't often think about when we first started playing games. Or really the “first” game that we ever played. Most players are preoccupied with the game that they are playing “now” or the game that they will play next. Yet, we don't stop to think about what we already know about games and how we've applied that to learning and experiencing new games.If you liked this episode please consider commenting, sharing, and subscribing.Subscribing is absolutely free and ensures that you'll get the next episode of Experience Points delivered directly to you.I'd also love it if you took some time to rate the show!I live to lift others with learning.  So, if you found this episode useful, consider sharing it with someone who could benefit.Also make sure to visit University XP online at www.universityxp.comUniversity XP is also on Twitter @University_XP and on Facebook and LinkedIn as University XPAlso, feel free to email me anytime at dave@universityxp.comGame on!Get the full transcript and references for this episode here: https://www.universityxp.com/podcast/113Support the Show.

Imagine you’re a national security official tasked with monitoring activity off the coast of your fictitious country. Suddenly, a large tanker ship in your area goes silent. Its location sensor is offline, and it’s not responding to radio communication. What do you do? It’s a question Francesca de Rosa, chief scientist for gaming at the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation, poses in the Reliability Game, which she designed. It’s part of a genre known as “serious games.” De Rosa told Marketplace's Lily Jamali that while serious games can be fun, they’re really meant to prepare people to handle all kinds of situations.

So, we knew Carolyn made great TV the very first second she showed up on Survivor 44 — which, coincidentally, was the very first second of Survivor 44. But who knew that she would be such a gamer? Carolyn has been pulling all the right levers and we break down her surprisingly stealthy game so far after four episodes. We also get into the big tribe shuffle, Josh's really bad lying, and seeing TWO challenges on an episode. Then, we tackle the new Commanders news that Dan Snyder has apparently cleaned out his office. THANK THE LORD! Come and get some.00:00 – Survivor 44, episode 4 react24:20 – Is Dan Snyder really gone?
