Abstract:

The Chattahoochee River begins in the Appalachian Mountains in northeast Georgia, flows through Atlanta, and then turns south to form the Georgia/Alabama state line. There are many dams along the river to help supply power, and many recreational areas. Most importantly, the Chattahoochee River provides 70% of metropolitan Atlanta’s drinking water. With all of these benefits, we should be protecting the river, but we are not. The water is polluted and gets more polluted the further south you go. In my photographs, I want to bring this to people’s attention. I used photographic negatives “damage

Abstract:

I denna uppsats försöker jag fastställa om immersion har någon effekt på lärande i serious games och i så fall vilken effekt det har. Många spelutvecklare och forskare säger att immersion hjälper lärande i spel. I min genomgång av fakta har jag inte kunnat hitta något som stödjer denna åsikt. Många artiklar hänvisar till ”tidigare forskning” men saknar sedan referenser till denna forskning. Det finns en viss grund för påståendena att immersion hjälper lärande i spel, men immersion är ett begrepp som kommit att användas på fel sätt inom spelindustrin och dess effekter har kraftigt missförståtts

Abstract:

In the present day Mandarin Chinese has become a commonly taught language in the U.S. Mandarin is widely taught in colleges and universities; K-12 Chinese programs, including immersion programs, have also grown rapidly. However, to date little research has been conducted on the latter programs. This study examines immersion programs in elementary schools. I investigate three aspects: 1) teaching methods in Chinese immersion programs, 2) acquisition of grammatical patterns, and 3) computer assisted methods for character learning. I adopted a qualitative approach; the methods I employ include ob

Abstract:

Att en spelare lever sig in i ett spel kan ses som en av de viktigaste delarna av ett bra spel och spelare vill ständigt ha spel där dom känner mer och mer inlevelse. Tidigare forskning visar på att inlevelse i digitala spel inte är ett enkelt område och för att kunna forska på det så krävs det att man delar upp det i mindre, mer hanterbara, delområden som kan undersökas både som enskilda områden och i relation till andra. Denna uppsats bryter ut tre delområden som alla bidrar till inlevelse i spel för att utforska, testa och utvärdera. De valda delområdena används för att skapa en artefakt i

To analyze how well a location-based game worked in this setting gameflow theory was used to measure the player experience, focusing on how concentration and immersion was handled.

However, it is still far from use in routine production because of problems such as the ability to control the ion depth profile in targets, the ion dose and contamination.

Abstract:

This study sits at the intersection of two fields of academic enquiry into performance practice: audience reception of scenography and the rise of ‘immersive’ theatre. Using my own scenographic practice as a tool, I illuminate the understanding of audience experience of scenography in environmental performance and question how scenography might act as an agent for audience immersion. I examine the nature of sensory and imaginative engagement in the context of performance installations in black-box studio spaces where audiences are central to the composition. This practice-based study is compos

Abstract:

This research is a case study of stakeholders' perceptions of learning and provision during a specific English language program. The pedagogical context of the program was clearly defined. English teachers from Hong Kong who had either Cantonese or Mandarin as their first language (L1) came to Australia for intensive language proficiency training and assessment. The Hong Kong government determined the program's syllabus, including assessment instruments and criteria in the Syllabus Specifications for the Language Proficiency Assessment for Teachers (English Language) (LPATE) (Government of the

The purpose of this research is the creation of the framework for immersive Virtual Worlds (VW) development and evaluation of factors affecting user’s immersion experience in 3D virtual worlds. Three experiments have been conducted to evaluate different aspects of the immersion experience in virtual reality. The first experiment aimed to explore the influence of communication on users whilst performing certain activities in a virtual world. The second experiment evaluated how the real-world environment affects users in a virtual world. The third experiment examined the aspect of mobility as a

Abstract:

When your daughter is playing video-games and you call her to dinner but she fails to respond, do you assume she heard you and ignored you? Everyday descriptions of game immersion suggest that the real world dissociation experienced by gamers could be an extreme form of selective attention. If this were the case, this would mean that your daughter really did not hear you call, due to the complexity of the game environment and a lack of available cognitive resources. This thesis describes a grounded theory that suggests that immersion is a result of self-motivated attention which is enhanced th
