“…Antle et al have identified three models of persuasion that can be found in the design of games for change [15]. The first is called information deficit model and is based on directly delivering important information to the user that may change his/her attitude.…”

“…Finally, several influential projects and approaches in developing interactive installations and games also emerged from 'The Fun Theory' campaign, an initiative that aimed in exploring people's environmental behavior and persuade them to change by allowing them to experience the fun side of acting responsibly [15]. It focused in exploring three aspects of human behavior: environmental psychology, fun theory, operant conditioning.…”

Digital games and playful interactive installations are considered a promising means to raising awareness about the environment and persuading people to adopt an environmental friendly behavior. However, the selection and use of appropriate methods and paradigms for designing and evaluating such systems and successfully blending the 'fun' element with the messages to be communicated is still an active research issue. The aim of this paper is to investigate the benefits and drawbacks of using games and playful interactive technologies for changing people's attitude towards the environment through a series of projects developed and publicly presented during a campaign for reducing the use of plastic bags. The development included the identification of the projects' goals, an analysis of people, activities, target behavior and context of use, and finally the design and prototyping of the interactive installations. In total, eight projects have been developed, six interactive installations and two digital games that have been publicly presented, used and evaluated during the campaign. An additional user evaluation of the two games has been performed in the laboratory, to gain more insight on their usability and impact. The paper presents an overview of the design process and methodology, the main design elements of each project, and a number of observations and preliminary evaluation results.

“…Rather than telling visitors about culture values, our goal was to have visitors experience values through their interaction, adding cultural specificity to ideas from previous work that showed how enabling visitors to make their own interpretations about values through interaction had a greater impact than simply telling them about values [6]. Learning basic information about Musqueam culture through DG1-4 would provide context for visitors to experience values through interaction, similar to the prior lesson in [14].…”

In this paper, we highlight possibilities for designing intangible cultural values into interactions with technologies in heritage spaces. We do this specifically through the design of ʔeləw ̓ k ̓ ʷ -Belongings, an interactive tangible table installed in a cultural heritage museum. The tabletop was collaboratively designed to communicate complex and narrative information and values about Musqueam culture. Rather than focusing only on content and interface design, we wanted visitors to also experience Musqueam values through their interactions with the system. We describe our value-sensitive design process, present five interdependent design goals, discuss the design strategies that enabled us to meet these goals, and evaluate our approach through a user study. From our design process and evaluation we offer recommendations for designing values into interactions more generally and for tangible interactions specifically in ways that support visitors' experience and understanding of specific cultural values through technology.

“…This model originated in public workshops associated with environmental education and policy making [17]. Based on our work in [2], we summarize how the Emergent Dialogue model was translated into actionable design guidelines for digital games. We next describe Youtopia, a tangible, multi-touch tabletop sustainability game for elementary school-aged children, which we developed using these guidelines.…”

“…We delimit our work by focusing on two common models and a new model, called Emergent Dialogue, which we derived from environmental education and policy workshops [2]. The most common model for attitude and behavior change seen in G4C is the Information Deficit model, summarized in [10].…”

Games for Change (G4C) is a movement and community of practice dedicated to using digital games for social change 1 . However, a common model of persuasion built into most G4C, called Information Deficit, assumes that supporting children to learn facts will result in behavior change around social issues. There is little evidence that this approach works. We propose a model of game play, called Emergent Dialogue, which encourages children to discuss their values during interaction with factual information in a G4C. We summarize a set of guidelines based on our Emergent Dialogue model and apply them to the design of Youtopia, a tangible, tabletop learning game about sustainability. Our goal was to create a game that provided opportunities for children to express and discuss their values around sustainable development trade-offs during game play. We evaluate our design using video, survey and questionnaire data. Our results provide evidence that our model and design guidelines are effective for supporting value-based dialogue during collaborative game play.
