Dr Joanna Wright is heading to Poland in August to work at
the Centre for Systems Solutions in Wrocław.
The Centre designs serious
games; these are games which work both as games and which also educate people
about different issues. They have designed online games, board games and role
playing games for businesses, schools and environmental management professionals.
Jo will be working on games about water resources and energy, using her
experience as an environmental consultant, and a sustainability advocate and
academic.
Gamification is a big current research topic, and elements of
gamification are used in many areas including public policy and education. Jo
hopes to also learn about their game design process and bring back useful tools
for my university teaching, as well as develop research contacts for the
future.
