“…The results of this study are in accordance with the results conducted by [9] which showed that stimulation of cognitive processes through serious games had a statistically significant impact on learning outcomes, although factors such as enjoyment, flow of experience, or self-perceived benefits in playing did not have a significant impact on the acquisition of knowledge about work. Campus orientation games also show that alternative reality games can elicit positive emotions in new empowerment program students and help them create friendships at university.…”

The increasing number of study programs is of course commensurate with the support of the facilities and infrastructure owned by the Creative Media State Polytechnic campus. These facilities were built to support both academic and non-academic activities. This research aims to develop the first 3D game as a digital promotional media orientation on the introduction of the Polimedia campus. Games are a digital medium that continues to develop, especially during the 2019 Covid pandemic. Game is a combination of multimedia and interaction that has proven successful in attracting user attention compared to other digital media. This research was developed with the following stages, namely initialization consisting of game idea research. Research on appropriate game genres, pre-production, production which consist of programming and modeling, and testing including functional testing and testing on users who have the potential to use this game for validation. Based on the data obtained, the overall value of positive perceptions is 70.68%, while negative perceptions weigh 29.32%. This percentage shows that from a user perspective, the game being developed meets user expectations and its objectives. This game is quite capable of motivating users to play and gain a learning experience, exploring campus in a fun way. Keywords: development, game, promotion, campus, orientation

The evolution in information technology has brought worldwide access to information. Information technology has become an approach for effective learning in the education sector. This development provides an opportunity for people with disabilities. However, many educational software and applications in the market, such as serious games, cannot be accessed by low-vision children due to the visual properties in game design. For instance, small text and graphic sizes, lack of colour contrast, complex visual effects, or reliance on visual cues for instructions are among the visual properties that contribute to these accessibility challenges. They can play serious games as long as they are designed based on their accessibility needs. This paper proposed a serious games design model for low-vision children. The three main components are accessibility, game design, and pedagogy. The serious game accessibility design model is implemented using a low-fidelity prototype that takes the form of a serious game mockup. This prototype allows for basic interaction and testing of the game’s features, with a focus on accessibility considerations. The expert validation was conducted on the prototype using heuristic evaluation to assess its usability. Based on the evaluation, the experts agreed on implementing the proposed model to the prototype.

“…Owing to the game's innovative approach, empirical educational research has regarded like2be with significant interest, finally evaluating the game for its effectiveness. The results indicate that integrating the serious game like2be into classroom activities stimulates cognitive processes or provides mental challenges that lead to an increase in knowledge about occupations (Keller et al, 2023).…”

Choosing a career is an important biographical event for adolescents. Toward the end of compulsory education, they must decide which career path they want to pursue. The serious game like2be was developed to support adolescents in this individual career choice process. In a quasi-experimental intervention study with 809 adolescents, like2be was evaluated for its effectiveness in career choice classes at the lower secondary level. In addition, a teaching concept for the application of the serious game which included additional teaching materials was analyzed. The data show that like2be is an effective medium for broadening personal career choice horizons, especially when it is pedagogically well-founded and integrated into career choice classes. Although the effectiveness of like2be in stimulating intensive reflection on one's own vocational aptitude or a gender-sensitive attitude towards occupations is limited, the present study shows that like2be has major potential for supporting the process of career choice among adolescents.
