Description
Successful games exert an undeniable pull on their audience. When this phenomenon is harnessed for the purposes of training and education, they become serious games. New research suggests that any training materials even framed as a game produce positive game-like effects: the notion of soft gamification. While there is little question as to the effectiveness of gamified approaches even to the teaching of abstract critical-thinking skills, significant questions relating to design concepts and implementation remain in the case of missile defense.In this effort, Creative Technologies Inc. (CTI), developers of serious game is teaming up with UtopiaCompression Corporation (developers of intelligent tutoring and behavior mining systems ) and subject matter experts to produce a gamified approach to training Warfighters to improve operational proficiencies with ballistic missile battle management.(Approved for Public Release 15-MDA-8482 (17 November 15))
