Almost a year in, I've still never been happier with a talk, and still stand by every sentence. mindtheproduct.com/2017/07/ethics…

@desimonemartin Super-helful context, thanks!

@dingstweets Hi! Great to see someone reading beyond the headlines! No, they were not paid. The cost was mostly water since the labs were hot, and other small things such as IDs and printed guides.

🚨 New working paper! Can ChatGPT or generative AI transform education in low-resource settings? We ran a randomized controlled trial in Nigeria to find out. The results? Powerful learning gains at a low cost. 👇

I am interested in supervising PhDs on: - understand player behaviour & wellbeing with data donations - long-term engagement in behaviour change or games - computational modelling of competence, curiosity, and gambling motivation - theories of change in HCI - curiosity in games

Come do your PhD with me at Imperial College in London! The LISS DTP funds 3.5y PhD tuition and stipend (+1y masters), deadline Jan 24: liss-dtp.ac.uk/applying-to-li…

Prescient? Outdated? You be the judge. #2 in a loose series of liberating old talks from Slideshare: Ruling the World: When Life Gets Gamed from lift 2012. Or: How automating social rules creates a Kafkaesque everyday and invites gaming the system. speakerdeck.com/codingconduct/…

Come join our growing School! @ImperialDyson has two full-time (Senior) Lecturer openings. Great people, great students, great place, integrating engineering with behavioural research and creative practice to build better futures. imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-jo…

We recruit broadly, but selfishly, if you do computational design, computational creativity, behaviour change, computational cognitive modelling – do apply 😁!

For the media class the apex of politics isn’t being a prosperous, socially just, well run country in the North Atlantic. No, it’s cosplaying being a mid 20th century imperial power. They genuinely all want to be in the West Wing. For them - this is as good as it gets.

The issue is based on the first Ethical Games Conference (youtube.com/playlist?list=…), initiated by the Ethical Games Initiative (ethicalgames.org). A massive thanks to @CeliaHodent and @francee49 for leading this great effort!

It's out! 🎈 🎉 ▶️ Ethical Games the first special issue of @GamesACM: dl.acm.org/toc/games/2024… 13 excellent articles ranging from digital children's rights to toxicity, games education, microtransactions, responsible AI, and a roundtable on advancing ethics in the industry

Previously on this show: Cap student fees, unis charge cap. Uncap intl fees, unis chase intl students. Keep fee cap throughout 39% inflation, unis w/o intls cost-cut or go under. & at every step: "We're shocked market actors behave like market actors, not public services!"

You marketise education, you get market behaviour, vol. 130,455 out of one gajillion: make unis dependent on student fees at volume and students hard to get, unis gonna lower/fudge the entry bars. theguardian.com/education/arti…

I've written a blog that writes this story up, and I've also created my first youtube video (!) to tell the story. I'm trying to figure out if youtube is for me so, uh, let me know. Thanks so much for reading. eieio.games/essays/the-sec… youtu.be/OI4DbECnp8A

lol who did this

Since Scribd enshittified Slideshare beyond repair, I decided to rescue and resurface some of my oldie-but-I-think-goodie decks to Speakerdeck. #1 in a loose series: Un-Boring Meetings from Alibis for Interaction'16 – or why meetings bore unavoidably. speakerdeck.com/codingconduct/…
