We propose an innovative Literacy Education Model to address the digital divide problem in contemporary society, focusing on enhancing human literacy through the use of commercial video games and the automatic generation of educational materials. The human literacy model, fundamental to our approach, consists of three layers: the Application layer, the Method layer, and the Concept layer. Each layer is characterized by a specific skill: operation skill in the Application layer, knowledge acquisition skill in the Method layer, and generalization skill in the Concept layer. Our proposed Literacy Education Model is built upon this three-tiered human literacy model and includes a curriculum developed through a six-step process. A distinctive feature of our Literacy Education Model is the integration of commercial video games, which serve as engaging educational tools, and the use of OpenAI API like the Chat-GPT for the automatic generation of educational materials. We developed a rudimentary literacy education tool based on the models. Subjects tried taking the literacy education with the tool in preliminary experiments. We observed a progression as the individual improved their literacy skills and knowledge.

“…The designers write in the ruleset that it is a "deck-building card game set in the fictional sheep town of Green Meadows --where, as the game's tagline reads, 'some news stories just want to pull the wool over your eyes!" (Literat, 2021). Players aim to "help the sheep citizens of Green Meadows figure out what's true and what's not, by using their best evidence to win them over" (Literat, 2021).…”

“…As has been the case with complex problems of the past (Anderson, Gentile, & Dill, 2012), a variety of game designers have aimed to help address the problem through play. The result is a myriad of theories and playful interventions that aim to improve media literacy (Literat, Chang, Eisman, & Gardner, 2021). and even inoculate players from misinformation and disinformation (Roozenbeek & Van Der Linden, 2019).…”

Media misinformation and disinformation continue to threaten the foundation on which scientific, political, and other socially relevant decisions are made. This paper examines games designed to serve as interventions for changing player's behaviors in misinformation and disinformation media. It analyzes the games formally through two common communication intervention theories for behavior modification and education: inoculation theory and transportation theory. The media theories are first framed in the context of games generally, then they are applied across six research focused games ; Harmony Square, Bad News, Fake It To Make It, Factitious and FakeYou!. The work offers theory-informed observations and recommendations to support improved efficacy for existing and future playable media.
