Motivating Physical Activity for Individuals with Intellectual Disability through Indoor Bike Cycling and Exergaming.
2022
People with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting functioning in everyday life. Exergames have been envisioned for promoting physical activity; however, most of them are not user-friendly for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In this paper, we report the design, development, and user acceptance of a mobile health solution connected to sensors to motivate physical activity. The system is mounted on an indoor stationary bicycle and an ergometer bike tailored for people with intellectual disabilities. The develop…
A VR-Enhanced Rollover Car Simulator and Edutainment Application for Increasing Seat Belt Use Awareness
2021
Most countries have active road safety policies that seek the objective of reducing deaths in traffic accidents. One of the main factors in this regard is the awareness of the safety measures, one of the most important being the correct usage of the seat belt, a device that is known to save thousands of lives every year. The presented work shows a VR-enhanced edutainment application designed to increase awareness on the use of seat belts. For this goal, a motorized rollover system was developed that, synchronized with a VR application (shown in a head-mounted display for each user inside a real car), rolls over this car with up to four passengers inside. This way, users feel the sensations …
Cultural Values’ Influences on Users’ Preferences for Gamification Techniques
2019
Gamification techniques such as badges, levels, roles, are widely adopted in information systems (IS). Though researchers have noted that cultural values may influence users' usage of IS, there is a lack of research regarding the relationship of cultural values and gamification techniques. Our study aims to contribute to this area. We propose that users' cultural values may influence how they are motivated and further influence their preferences toward specific gamification techniques. In this research in progress, we review cultural values, examine the currently adopted gamification techniques, and then propose how cultural values influence users' preferences toward specific gamification t…
Experimental macroeconomics: a role-playing experience among bachelor students
2020
This current innovative education project has the main goal of introducing students to experimental economics to help them better understand complex macroeconomic concepts. For this purpose, it is used an online experimental platform to develop a role-playing dynamic with which students become real economic agents. This gamified technique allows students to interact with each other in the goods and production factors markets and, thus, generate a circular flow studied as one of the main macroeconomic principles. The online platform is conceived as a two-sided website: on one hand, students are assigned a role and asked to make decisions; and, on the other, professors can instantaneously acc…

Aprender finanzas conductuales experimentando
2021
[EN] In an ever-changing economic and business environment, it is especially interesting that students learn, and experiment with their own decision-making, about behavioral finance. This experience will provide them with a better understanding of the economic agents’ behavior in different real- life situations (auctions, pricing, negotiations, investing and financing decisions). By experimenting, they acquire solid knowledge about biases, rational and irrational behaviors, and motivations that govern economic life. Controlled economic experiments in the classroom, a gamification learning methodology, allow students to better understand complex economic-financial concepts such as the herdin…

Pelillistäminen ja mobiilisovellukset
2013
Kitola, Mikael Pelillistäminen ja mobiilisovellukset Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2013, 27 s. Tietojärjestelmätieteet, kandidaatintutkielma Ohjaaja(t): Halttunen, Veikko; Varsaluoma, Jukka Tässä tutkielmassa käsitellään pelillistämistä ja sen käyttöä mobiilisovelluksissa. Tutkielmassa otetaan tästä ilmiöstä selvää ja vastataan kysymyksiin: mistä peleissä ja pelillistämisestä on oikein kyse, miksi ja miten pelillistämistä pyritään hyödyntämään mobiilisovelluksissa, miten siinä on onnistuttu ja millaista kritiikkiä se on saanut osakseen. Tuloksena voidaan tulkita, että mobiilisovelluksissa hyödynnetään vain suppeasti erilaisia pelielementtejä, mutta siitä huolimatta ainakin pelillistämist…
