A week ago, I was lucky enough to attend Game in the City 2010, a conference about game developing. While I’m not an active game developer myself, I am always interested in the latest news about it and in the inspiration that developers find for their newest games.
There were a lot of very interesting talks, but I think that perhaps some of the most interesting ones were those that talked about getting players motivated. Which is rather like what I’m trying to accomplish with my project. I want to motivate students to collaborate and work together, so they can learn better and get through their studies in a more fun and efficient way.
The conference got me to watch three TED-talks that talk about using games in real life and I consider these talks a great inspiration.
