Basic version

• The introduction game of the QuILT system can be compared to the well-known game "City-Country-River" (CCR).

  • S:
    • It is already online available.
    • It is in English.
    • Well-known (and funny:-)
    • Categories can be chosen from a long list.
    • Customized games can be created.
    • (Your opinion?)
  • W:
    • This game has a lot of arbitrary characteristics like:
      • Letters are just quasi-dimensions.
      • The number of solutions is mostly not trivial (not limited to one single option).
    • There are no possibilities to evaluate options in an objective way (in advance).
    • In the evaluation: no answer = repeated answer
    • (Your opinion?)
  • O:
    • The online frame system makes possible at once to play - without any further preparation work and comments.
    • The basic game makes easier to introduce the advanced game (see below).
    • (Your opinion?)
  • T:
    • The advantages of the online frame system lead to frustrations in case of the advanced game without IT-support.
    • The data asset (single transaction) can not be handled in an arbitrary way.
    • (Your opinion?)

Advanced Game

• Title: Self-catalytic Memory-Test (SCMT)
• Description:
  • Objectives:
    • The QuILT introduction game (SCMT) has been created for groups built from people with different backgrounds.
    • The SCMT should support increasing the amount of points of views.
    • The SCMT should support collecting multicultural impulses/experiences.
    • The SCMT should support handling with keywords like data, information, knowledge, search, structuring, evaluation, statistics, etc.
    • The SCMT should support the interpretation of unique and general views.
  • Expected impacts:
    • Each player has the same chances, rights and these makes possible to work in a collaborative, democratic, transparent, data-driven, objective, flexible way.
    • The closed processes produce a structured database at once being able to use as a kind of fact-collection and also a kind of sociological pattern generator.
    • The game can also be played alone like a memory-game, and/or training for search-challenges.
• Steps:
  • Preparation:
    • The players should have a sheet paper, a pencil, and a rubber.
    • The show master should have a computer, a projector, and a spreadsheet software.
  • Initial steps:
    • The players should agree on which level of geographical objects will be focused (like planets, continents, countries, settlements, regions, etc.) - Remark: different object-levels can also be used, but the generalization of the attributes can lead to problems.
  • The players should agree whether a question should have only a single answer or it is possible to define a set of alternative answers?
