Listen to Henry Jenkins at the Serious Games Summit |
Ó
There are people who like spending hours playing PopCap games. We call them the casual gamers. There are also those who would devote a large chunk of their time playing MMORPGs. We can categorize them as the "hardcore gamers.". And of course, let's not miss out people who take gaming more seriously, such that they would study its idiosyncrasies.Those people really take serious gaming up a notch, and they will be holding the Serious Games Summit, a conference for people who, well, take serious games seriously (this includes serious games creators and commissioners). The said summit will feature talks and forums regarding serious game development and how it could be used to help in healthcare, education, science and social change.
As such, Henry Jenkins was tasked to give the keynote speech entitled, "Serious Games in the Age of Media Convergence and Collective Intelligence." Jenkins is a DeFlorz Professor of Humanities and Director of Comparative Media Studies at MIT, principal investigator for the MacArthur Foundation-funded New Media Literacies as well as co-founder and director of The Education Arcade, which currently looks into the educational aspect of computer and video games.
The said conference will be held at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA from October 30-31.
