Feldspar Epstein, “The Magic Circle - is not so helpful, actually.” The Metaverse Journal, 9-11-2008, http://www.metaversejournal.com/2008/11/09/the-magic-circle-is-not-so-helpfulMarkus Montola, “Exploring the Edge of the Magic Circle: Defining Pervasive Games”, University of Tampere Game Research Lab, http://users.tkk.fi/mmontola/exploringtheedge.pdf
Pervasive gaming is a genre of gaming systematically blurring and breaking the traditional boundaries of game. The limits of the magic circle are explored in spatial, temporal and social dimensions. These ways of expanding the game are not new, since many intentional and unintentional examples of similar expansions can be found from earlier games, but the recently emerged fashion of pervasive gaming is differentiated with the use of these expansions in new, efficient ways to produce new kinds of gameplay experiences. These new game genres include alternate reality games, reality games, trans-reality games and crossmedia games.

Thomas Hurka, “Games and the Good”, University of Toronto, http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~thurka/docs/pass_games.pdf
But first Suits’s analysis. It says that a game has three main elements, which he calls the prelusory goal, the constitutive rules, and the lusory attitude. […] These first two elements involve pursuing a goal by less than the most efficient means, but they are not sufficient for playing a game. This is because someone can be forced to use these means by circumstances he regrets and wishes were different. If this is the case – if, for example, a farmer harvests his field by hand because he cannot afford the mechanical harvester he would much rather use – he is not playing a game. Hence the need for the third element in Suits’s analysis, the lusory attitude, which involves a person’s willingly accepting the constitutive rules, or accepting them because they make the game possible.

Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern, “Build It to Understand It: Ludology Meets Narratology in Game Design Space”, http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/~mateas/publications/MateasSternDIGRA05.pdf
Building experimental games offers an alternative methodology for researching and understanding games, beyond what can be understood by playing and studying existing games alone. Through a simultaneous process of research and artmaking in the construction of the interactive drama Façade, new theoretical and design insights into several game studies questions were realized, including the hotly debated question of ludology vs. narratology. This paper describes some of the ways that building games can inform researchers about what game scholarship should be focused on and why, and ways that building games can offer new perspectives on existing forms and genres..

One of the best lessons children learn through video games is standing still will get them killed quicker than anything else. ~ Jinx Milea

Naar aanleiding van deze vraag: Doordat er juist onbeperkte participatie is bij Wikipedia, is het fenomeen niet betrouwbaar en kan het net zo goed niet gebruikt worden als informatiebron. Dit is een voorbeeld van een bottum-up cultuur. Hoe zou het fenomeen moeten veranderen, zodat het wel als wetenschappelijke bron gebruikt zou kunnen worden, maar dat er toch sprake zou kunnen zijn van participatie?

E-learning in virtual worlds
I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye and brain coordination in playing these games. The Air Force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots, should they fly our jets. ~ Ronald Reagan

Virtual Social Worlds and the Future of Learning Dr. Tony O'Driscoll describes the 7 Sensibilities that Differentiate Virtual Social Worlds from other interactive media and makes the argument that these sensibilities provide us with unprecedented freedom to create true experential learning opportunities (10 min.) http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=O2jY4UkPbAc
Education in Second Life A video I (Joe Sanchez) made in 2006 for educators who have never heard of or seen virtual worlds. Though some of the information is now old, I thought I would post it in case someone found it useful. See my blog for more information http://educatorscoop.org/blog (3 min.)
