“…The core component of the TARGET platform is a serious game combined with virtual world technology, which confronts individuals with complex situations in the form of game scenarios. The serious game facilitates situated learning that results in experiences leading to the development of competences, whilst the interaction within a virtual world enables individuals to externalize their tacit knowledge [7,11]. The sustainable manufacturing game scenario reflects the phases an enterprise has to run through when dealing with sustainability issues.…”

This paper introduces a learning scenario created for a serious game to develop competences in the domain of sustainable manufacturing, by applying a Lifecycle Assessment (LCA). A set of behavioral indicators is introduced to assess how particular competences do change while the player is engaged in playing the game scenario. It furthermore presents early evaluation results of the game scenario on a sample of master grade students at the University of Bremen.

“…Nowadays, Serious Game (SG) is an emerging technology able to take advantage of the power of computer games to engage users for a specific purpose. Thanks to its ability of combining entertainment in games and seriousness in education, SG is applied to skill training [1], education health care [2], military exercise [3] and various other areas. A gaming system allows scenarios to be played and replayed several times by modifying key-variables to test changes in components or outcomes.…”

A Serious Game (SG) system for the assessment of the potential of the multi-vehicle surveillance is presented. The SG system is applied to the problem of protection of strategic assets from underwater asymmetric threats. The SG platform integrates the active sonar performance evaluator able to estimate the real performance on the basis of the environmental conditions. The final goal is to provide new technology tools to realize a Decision Support System (DDS) to support the design phase of a naval unit. The SG system is developed in the framework of the ProDifCon project supported by the Ligurian Cluster on Marine Technologies (DLTM) (Italy).

“…TARGET adopts a serious games approach to competence development. Learners encounter realistic game scenarios that simulate project management experiences that characterize the real-world [14]. TARGET also aims to foster the development of communities of practice [15], [16] and promote social learning, enabling players to interact with each other via multi-player gaming and other social tools.…”

Organizations are increasingly investing in technology-enhanced learning systems to improve their employees' skills. Serious games are one example; the competitive and fun nature of games is supposed to motivate employee participation. But any system that records employee data raises issues of privacy and trust. In this paper, we present a study on privacy and trust implications of serious games in an organizational context. We present findings from 32 interviews with potential end-users of a serious games platform called TARGET. A qualitative analysis of the interviews reveals that participants anticipate privacy risks for the data generated in game playing, and their decision to trust their fellow employees and managers depends on the presence of specific trust signals. Failure to minimize privacy risks and maximize trust will affect the acceptance of the system and the learning experience -thus undermining the primary purpose for which it was deployed. Game designers are advised to provide mechanisms for selective disclosure of data by players, andorganizations should not use gaming data for appraisal or selection purposes, and clearly communicate this to employees.
