SUMMARY:What Playfulness Can Change
DESCRIPTION:Check for locations at http://student.mit.edu/iap/ns85.html \n\nScot Osterweil\, Creative director \nEnrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up\nAttendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions \nThis class is about exploring playfulness and its business applications. \nPlayfulness is a very human value proposition that empowers people doing all kind of things. In this class\, I’m offering to discover the Playful and all its possibilities: From the empowerment of your employees\, your processes or your learning\, the Playful design methodology can be a real leverage of empowerment. \nThe class is open for all and divided in 3 workshops that are independent from each other but you are encouraged to follow all of them to have a better overview! \nContact: Laure Dousset\, +33681756009\, LDOUSSET@MIT.EDU \n\nSerious games co-design\n\n\n\n\nJan/12\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nSerious games are games that have another purpose than just pure entertainment. In this class\, we will test a serious game about Blockchain\, and try to assess it and find guidelines for when you’re developing that kind of game. After that\, I will share tips with you to design your serious game! Don’t hesitate to come with a topic in mind. \nScot Osterweil – Creative director\, Laure Dousset \n\nPlayfulness and your project\n\n\n\n\nJan/19\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nWhen you’re designing something\, it’s important to take the user experience into account. What I’m offering you in this class is to come with a project you have in mind (a technology\, a product\, a service) and to empower the experience with the playful methodology. You will see how you can use the playful value proposition\, and if you don’t have an idea in mind\, I have several interesting ones for you. \nScot Osterweil – Creative director\, Laure Dousset \n\nPlayfulness and your team\n\n\n\n\nJan/26\nThu\n02:00PM-04:00PM\nLocation TBD\n\n\n\nWe’ll see how to use playfulness in a team. How can you empower them using playful levers? Together\, we’ll practice by taking examples and try to use the playful design methodology to do this. We’ll choose together practical use cases you can encounter in your daily routines at work and try to make a change in order to make them more playful! \nLaure Dousset\, Scot Osterweil – Creative director

SUMMARY:IAP 2017: "Wikipedia 101: How to be a media literate citizen"
DESCRIPTION:Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required\nSign-up by 01/17\nLimited to 20 participants\nAttendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions \nRecent events have caused us to question\, more than ever before\, the validity of information gathered from the web. But Wikipedia\, now in its 15th year\, remains an online space where accuracy\, neutrality\, and fair representation matters. Growing the network of volunteer editors to contribute to Wikipedia (the largest collaborative writing project in history!) is one way to ensure that high quality information is freely available to all. \nStudents: \n– Would you like to build solid research skills?\n– Get practice communicating complex ideas to a broad audience?\n– Improve access to quality information and knowledge? \nFaculty & Instructors: \n– Would you like to support knowledge transfer in your courses?\n– Build students’ confidence in reading and analyzing complex texts?\n– Increase students’ proficiency in communicating technical content? \nThis three-day workshop will train participants to become competent Wikipedia editors\, and along the way they will cultivate a greater understanding of how to evaluate a range of sources\, from the popular news media\, to institutional archives\, to peer reviewed journals. \nPlease bring your laptop! \nTo reserve your spot\, please contact Amy Carleton (amymarie@mit.edu) and Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze (rtb@mit.edu). \nSponsor(s): Libraries\, Writing and Communication Center\, Comparative Media Studies/Writing\nContact: Rebecca Thorndike-Breeze\, E18-233\, 617-253-3090\, RTB@MIT.EDU \n\nIntroduction to Wikipedia\n\n\n\nJan/17\nTue\n10:00AM-12:00PM\n4-251\, Bring your laptop\n\n\n\nIntroduction to Wikipedia community philosophy and guidelines.
