Download or read book Mega events and social change written by Maurice Roche and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacle of major cultural and sporting events can preoccupy modern societies. This book is concerned with contemporary mega-events, like the Olympics and Expos. Using a sociological perspective Roche argues that mega-events reflect the major social changes which now influence our societies, particularly in the West, and that these amount to a new ‘second phase’ of the modernization process. Changes are particularly visible in the media, urban and global locational aspects of mega-events. Thus he suggests that contemporary mega-events, both in their achievements and their vulnerabilities, reflect, in the media sphere, the rise of the internet; in the urban sphere, de-industrialisation and the growing ecological crisis; and in the global sphere, the relative decline of the West and the rise of China and other ‘emerging’ countries.
Download or read book Interactive Multimedia Learning written by Johannes Konert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces new concepts and mechanisms regarding the usage of both social media interactions and artifacts for peer education in digital educational games. Digital games in general, and digital educational games in particular, represent an area with a high potential for interdisciplinary innovation, not only from an information technology standpoint, but also from social science, psychological and didactic perspectives. This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to educational games, which is centered on information technology and aims at: (1) improving digital management by focusing on the exchange of learning outcomes and solution assessment in a peer-to-peer network of learners; (2) achieving digital implementation by using forms of interaction to change the course of educational games; and (3) providing digital support by fostering group-formation processes in educational situations to increase both the effects of educational games and knowledge exchange at the individual level. In addition to a systematic analysis of the relationship between software architecture, educational games and social media applications, the book also presents the implemented IT systems' architectures and algorithmic solutions as well as the resulting applicable evaluation findings from the field of interactive multimedia learning.

Book excerpt: A powerful study illuminates our nation's collective civic fault lines Recent events have turned the spotlight on the issue of race in modern America, and the current cultural climate calls out for more research, education, dialogue, and understanding. Race and Social Change: A Quest, A Study, A Call to Action focuses on a provocative social science experiment with the potential to address these needs. Through an analysis grounded in the perspectives of developmental psychology, adaptive leadership and complex systems theory, the inquiry at the heart of this book illuminates dynamics of race and social change in surprising and important ways.

Download or read book Games as Tools for Social Change Communication written by Dr. Bharat Dhiman and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review paper highlights that the Games have the significant and unique potential to be powerful tools for social change communication, as they allow players to engage with and explore complex social issues in a safe and immersive environment. Games can help players to empathize and understand and with people from different backgrounds, promote problem-solving skills, critical thinking and inspire real-world action. Games can also promote social change by encouraging players to take action in the real world. For example, games like "Foldit" and "EteRNA" use crowdsourcing to help players solve real-world scientific problems. Games like "Habitat the Game" encourage players to take action to protect the environment, while "Half the Sky Movement" promote gender equality and encourages players to get involved in advocacy efforts. Games can promote social change by helping players to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Games like "Minecraft" and "Civilization" encourage players to think creatively and strategically to solve complex issues and problems, while games like "That Dragon, Cancer" and "Depression Quest" explore mental health issues and help players develop empathy and understanding for people who are struggling. Through this review article, we have discussed some of the most significant games that have the potential for social change communication. Games can raise awareness, promote action, and inspire players to make a positive difference in the world by providing a safe and immersive environment for players to explore complex social issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distrust. Division. Disparity. Is our world in disrepair? Ethics and civics have always mattered, but perhaps they matter now more than ever before. Recently, with the rise of online teaching and movements like #PlayApartTogether, games have become increasingly acknowledged as platforms for civic deliberation and value sharing. We the Gamers explores these possibilities by examining how we connect, communicate, analyze, and discover when we play games. Combining research-based perspectives and current examples, this volume shows how games can be used in ethics, civics, and social studies education to inspire learning, critical thinking, and civic change. We the Gamers introduces and explores various educational frameworks through a range of games and interactive experiences including board and card games, online games, virtual reality and augmented reality games, and digital games like Minecraft, Executive Command, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Fortnite, When Rivers Were Trails, Politicraft, Quandary, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The book systematically evaluates the types of skills, concepts, and knowledge needed for civic and ethical engagement, and details how games can foster these skills in classrooms, remote learning environments, and other educational settings. We the Gamers also explores the obstacles to learning with games and how to overcome those obstacles by encouraging equity and inclusion, care and compassion, and fairness and justice. Featuring helpful tips and case studies, We the Gamers shows teachers the strengths and limitations of games in helping students connect with civics and ethics, and imagines how we might repair and remake our world through gaming, together.
