Session Description: Jane is one of the leading edge thinkers on Gaming, Performance and You Engagement. You heard her at this morning's keynote and we invite you to have an interactive one-hour session with her as she addresses two key topics:

 

• The Power of Innovative Game: what game designers understand (and why everyone outside the game industry needs to understand it, too)
• You 2.0 and Beyond: explores how our massively participatory culture is changing the ways we define ourselves as individuals and how you can design with innovation!

Jane McGonigal - Game Designer, MIT Technology Review's Top Innovator Award, PhD in Performance Studies

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attendee Discussion: 

 

Especially interesting was the list and ensuing discussion about

10 New Skills/Strengths people can develop through Alternate Reality Gaming (ARG):

 

1. Mobbability: scalable collaboration; ability to do real-time work with a large number of people

 

2. Cooperation radar: develop a collective sense of who might be the best collaborator on a given project

 

 

3. Ping quotient: ability to assess how responsive someone will be to others' requests to engage (a higher ping quotient indicates higher responsiveness)

 

4. Influency: ability to be persuasive in multiple contexts

 

5. Multi-capitalism: ability to work with different forms of capital (e.g., financial, social, natural, intellectual)

 

6. Protovation: willingness to engage in fearless, rapid innovation; speed up failure, thereby speeding up ability to learn from it

 

7.  Open authorship: develop comfort creating content for public consumption and subsequent modification

 

8. Longbroading: ability to think about the system at a high level (i.e., think about cycles, big picture)

 

9. Emergensight: ability to prepare for and handle surprising or highly complex results

 

10. Signal/Noise management: ability to filter for meaningful information, patterns, commonalities from large, multiple data streams. Aka "discernment" - having a story helps people be able to do this.
