Serious Games Interactive | Ny Adelgade 5, 4. tv | DK-1104 Kbh. K | Problems with edutainment Little intrinsic motivation: Extrinsic motivation through rewards, rather than intrinsic motivation. No integrated learning experience: Lacks integration of the learning experience with playing experience - learning subordinated play experience. Drill-and-practice learning principles: Rely on drill-and-practice rather than understanding – training above learning. No teacher presence: No demands on teachers or parents. Simple gameplay: Built on a simple gameplay from classic titles. Small budgets: Produced on limited budgets with limited technology. What are serious games?

Serious Games Interactive | Ny Adelgade 5, 4. tv | DK-1104 Kbh. K | Don’t take our word for it... What do other people think? “Global Conflicts: Palestine is a fun and different way to receive learning” (Female student, 18 years) “You had a greater desire to learn about the topic from Global Conflicts: Palestine” (Male student, 16 years) “It sounds very interesting and I look forward to see it finished... Can I receive a mail when it is ready for sale?” (Danish male teacher)” "Our clear understanding that the approach behind Global Conflicts: Palestine live up to all demands for seriousness" (DK United Nations Association) "Games are widely used as educational tools, not just for pilots, soldiers and surgeons, but also in schools and businesses” (The Economist)

Serious Games Interactive | Ny Adelgade 5, 4. tv | DK-1104 Kbh. K | Clues... Social studies are increasingly seeing interest after a lot of attention on core topics for many years. There is also a great interest among teachers for trying new ways of engaging students in highly relevant topics like democracy, terrorism, globalization, conflicts and human rights. 20% of all US & UK teachers use games, but up to 70% wants to. They see few titles and their lack of quality as main barrier. What do other people think?

K |  90% students find it the be an interesting course  88% Students find it to be an interesting educational material  59 % of students find they learned more  90% of students wants to try a similar course again Students want more...

Serious Games Interactive | Ny Adelgade 5, 4. tv | DK-1104 Kbh. K | Building a market  Game technology is reused across titles. Increase possibility of reusing code, content, design, models and assets between titles leading to better RoI.  Linking game’s into existing teaching including standards, teacher skills and testing can be reused with incremental improvements making it easier for target group to engage with future titles.  The community build up around using game can help propel existing and future titles to new users. What is the business case?

Serious Games Interactive | Ny Adelgade 5, 4. tv | DK-1104 Kbh. K | A market waiting  90% of <12 years spent time on educational titles but then use disappears.  Schools technology platform for strong game experiences and teacher’s IT-skills have been upgraded  Dedicated educational software budgets are increasingly allocated across countries.  All youngsters play computer games with great pleasure, although not with the same ferocity.
