“…For the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), we created a role-playing game, which simulates kidnapping situations in order to train employees how to react in such situations [23]. In the EmUrgency project, we designed a game educating bystanders of cardiac arrest how to behave in such a situation [24].…”

“…Results indicated that "Mood Map" helped their participants significantly reduce their anger, anxiety and sadness ratings in order to help themselves and empathize with others [9]. Schmitz et al (2013) designed a mobile learning game, "HeartRun", to train Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The main goal of the heart run game is the acquisition of skills and abilities related to the Chain of Survival i.e.…”

Abstract-Mobile devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants, have gained wide-spread popularity and are part of the everyday life of billions of people. Today's mobile phones represent a rich and powerful computing platform, given their sensing, processing, social and communication capabilities. Empathy is the ability to identify with and understand another person's situation and feelings. Our ability to empathize affects how well we communicate our thoughts and feelings with others, how well we understand others, and how comfortable people feel communicating with us. Mobile devices have made a huge step in trying to cultivate empathy to people and different social groups through interesting applications.Keywords-mobile devices, mobile applications, empathy, social media, games, health, emotions, emotional/affective agents, elderly people, social change IntroductionMobile devices are shaping-up users' lifestyles by adding new dimensions to the concept of socializing, performing actions and forming new habits [1]. As summarized by Fogg and Eckles (2007) [2], "mobile phones will soon become the most important platform for changing human behavior". Oinas-Kukkonen (2008) [3] argues that ubiquitous information systems are shaping up the creation and dissemination of information in new ways hence creating opportunities to foster healthier lifestyle.Furthermore mobile applications which is software, developed to run particularly on mobile phones (smartphones) and tablet computing devices, have the potential to bring a new perspective to people's life in many sectors. The diffusion of mobile phones into our lives is an evidence of their popularity. The ever-growing liking and adoption of mobile phones (e.g. Blackberry, iPhone, Google Android, Nokia Windows Phone) is reflective of their mammoth potential to promote health and general wellbeing of users. Portability, continuous data streaming, advanced computing power and easy dissemination of applications give them an edge over other forms of iniJIM

“…ARLearn is a platform for the flexible, pattern-based design of mobile process-based learning games [27,28] comprising an authoring interface, which allows binding content items and task structures to locations, events, and roles and to use game-logic and dependencies to structure the game process. The platform has been recently used for several pilot studies in the cultural heritage domain [29], in security-related fields [30], and in health care related emergency training [31]. Related approaches comprise the ARIS platform [32], which offers the possibility to author location-based mobile games.…”

Abstract. This paper reports on an iterative design process for a serious game, which aims to raise situational awareness among different stakeholders in a logistics value chain by introducing multi-user role-playing games. It does so in several phases: After introducing the field of logistics as a problem domain for an educational challenge, it firstly describes the design of an educational board game for the field of disruption handling in logistics processes. Secondly, it describes how the board game can be realized in an open-source mobile serious games platform and identifies lessons learned based on advantages and issues found. Thirdly, it derives requirements for a re-design of the mobile game and finally draws conclusions.Keywords: mobile learning, game-based learning, multi-user games, logistics, multi-role game-design IntroductionDecision-making in sociotechnical systems is complex and error-prone due to interdependencies of tasks, conflicting goals in distributed responsibilities and a lack of information among the various stakeholders involved in decision-making [1]. The active sharing of relevant situational information might help to improve shared situational awareness (SSA) among the stakeholders involved [2], which can lead to improved decision making processes within sociotechnical systems. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the role of communication among stakeholders [3]. The SALOMO 1 project aims to provide training solutions to create situational awareness [2] to cope with this situation and to highlight the importance of communication. As multi-stakeholder decision situations confronted with time restrictions and incomplete information such as emergencies have been recognised as a relevant field (pp. 183-196). Springer International Publishing. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-24258-3 2 for training [4][5][6], a multi-user board game has been designed, which emulates the decision process in the port environment. The goal of the game is to sensitize stakeholders in a value chain about communication and inter-dependencies. The game was conceived to achieve a set of key objectives [7]:• Understanding the impact of increased shared situational awareness (SSA) on individual, group and system level performance • Setting a foundation to identify measures to increase SSA • Offering a frame of reference to assess SSA in the organization and network • Serving as a training tool for disruption managementThe game focuses on how to handle disruptions in the transportation network, and whether and when to communicate information relating to the disturbance to other players. Several roles are played in the game; the vessel planner, the yard planner, the control tower, the resource planner and the sales department. Thus, the paper-based version of the game requires no more and no less than five players.To improve the scalability of the board game, we aim to provide a computerized version of the board game, simplifying the game distribution and execution by providing an automated execution environme...
