“…Thought bubbles can also be viewed as a form of reflection, and reflection can be used to improve learning [45]. Therefore, future research can look into opportunities in which thought bubbles can be utilized for reflection in game-based learning technologies [43]. For all this to work, we need to think about how to scale up the use of thought bubbles with respect to qualitative analysis, which is a time-consuming process.…”

Studying mental models has recently received more attention, aiming to understand the cognitive aspects of human-computer interaction. However, there is not enough research on the elicitation of mental models in complex dynamic systems. We present Thought Bubbles as an approach for eliciting mental models and an avenue for understanding players' mental model development in interactive virtual environments. We demonstrate the use of Thought Bubbles in two experimental studies involving 250 participants playing a supply chain game. In our analyses, we rely on Situation Awareness (SA) levels, including perception, comprehension, and projection, and show how experimental manipulations such as disruptions and information sharing shape players' mental models and drive their decisions depending on their behavioral profile. Our results provide evidence for the use of thought bubbles in uncovering cognitive aspects of behavior by indicating how disruption location and availability of information affect people's mental model development and influence their decisions.CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Empirical studies in HCI; User studies.

“…The discussion on DEI may go way beyond what is presented in this essay. Aspects not covered here include: institutional initiatives, infrastructure issues and disability challenges [6], culturally relevant Computing pedagogy [33], specific education methodologies such as game-based [21], DEI at school level Computing [59], and open source community benefits [56].…”

Do Computing courses properly prepare students for dealing with diversity, equity and inclusion? This essay delves into such a question by presenting a survey taken by Computing educators, and discussing issues, solutions and challenges within different Computing areas. It is also a call to action, because when dealing with such matters, there is no being on the fence: a person is either part of the problem or working towards its solution.

His research focuses on using games to study and improve decision-making, and through these efforts both to advance our knowledge and to engage a broad cross-section of people globally about societal issues. He applies games especially in areas where it is challenging to study and educate in natural environments and collects detailed and expansive behavioral data in a controlled manner.Working across disciplines, Dr. Harteveld has designed and evaluated games on flooding, urban heat islands, debris collection, and pro se litigants. He is a strong proponent of integrating research and education and a significant portion of his work is devoted to translating research outcomes to the classroom or informal settings, in order to make sure that the next generation is ready to deal with the societal challenges of the 21st Century.
