Basic version (CCR)

• The introduction game of the QuILT system can be compared to the well-known game "City-Country-River" (CCR).
• This game (CCR) can also be played online: https://citycountryriver.net/new-game.xhtml
• The online CCR can be evaluated in form of a classic (instinctive) SWOT-analysis:
  • 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 specific 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.

Advanced Game (SCMT)

Methodological aspects as remarks!

• 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 make 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 of paper, a pencil, and a rubber - and the NEPTUN-ID should be written down on the sheets.
    • 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?
    • The players should agree how they will handle with situation where two or more players have the same idea? (c.f. lottery of preferences, exclusion of affected ideas, quiz, etc.)
  • The players should agree which kind of statistical attributes (like gender, age, etc.) they are ready to share in the group?
  • First round:
    • Everybody should declare an object from the chosen level (e.g. object-level = countries - HU, GB, FR, DE, USA, etc.).
    • The sheets should be given to the show master.
    • The same items (object) should be explored.
    • The sameness problems should be solved.
    • The new objects should be written down on the sheets.
    • The digitization of the objects should be done.
    • The sheets should be given back to the players.
    • The players should choose an object-specific attribute with one or more value (like: surface of the country incl. unit/dimension: e.g. km2)
    • The sheets should be given to the show master again.
    • The same items (attributes) should be explored.
    • The sameness problems should be solved.
    • The new attributes should be written down on the sheets.
    • The digitization of the attributes should be done.
    • The sheets should be given back to the players.
    • The players should answer to the question (attribute) in a written form (but nobody may see these answers except the show master and the given player itself).
    • The sheets should be given to the show master again.
    • The digitization of the values (answers) should be done.
    • The sheets should be given back to the players.
    • The show master should show the entire play-field (the matrix incl. player's attributes) for the players.

Here and now the show master should ask the players: Which structural layer is still not used in the matrix?

• • Second round:
    • Every player should try to answer each question concerning the own object in written form as a memory-test.
      • Extension: To each answer, a ranking value should also be recorded (Rank = 1. = the first answer).
      • Extension: In online mode, timestamps should be recorded for each event/answer.
      • Extension: In online mode, each changes should also be seen as event (needing a timestamp and a shadow-value with the deleted content).
    • The sheets should be given to the show master again.
    • The digitization of the values (answers) should be done.
    • The sheets should be given back to the players.
    • The show master and the players should evaluate the answers together as a memory-test.
    • The show master should derive a kind of fitting quotient for each player/object according to the own object.
    • The show master should derive a kind of fitting quotient for each attribute (question).
    • The show master should derive the fitting quotients according groups of players (like female/male, older/younger, etc.).

Here and now the show master should also ask the players: Which structural layer is still not used in the matrix and in the statistical reporting?

• • Third round:
    • Every player should try to answer each further question in written form as a memory-test.
      • Extension: To each answer, a ranking value should also be recorded (Rank = 1. = the first answer identified through object and attribute).
      • Extension: In online mode, timestamps should be recorded for each event/answer.
      • Extension: In online mode, each changes should also be seen as event (needing a timestamp and a shadow-value with the deleted content).
    • The sheets should be given to the show master again.
    • The digitization of the values (answers) should be done.
    • The sheets should be given back to the players.
    • The show master and the players should evaluate the answers together as a memory-test.
    • ...

The same steps where Google-search actions can be involved! (Search-keywords should always be recorded!)
