In our recent gaming session, Pete, Nick, and Allen explored two multiplayer games. In the first game, we assumed the role of a single character in a storyline where a homeless individual stumbled upon a wallet in a cafe. In the second game, we took on various characters in a boxing match. We employed different prompts like ‘say,’ ‘see,’ and ‘story’ to guide our actions and advance the narrative. Now, let’s watch our gaming experience.
We also have some FAILs in playing this game:
- Applicability for Use in Classes:
Inclusivity: AI Dungeon’s text-based interface makes it accessible to a wide range of students, including those with visual or hearing impairments.
Accessibility: The game is accessible online and can be played on various devices with internet access.
Marginalizing and Power Structures: The game’s content largely depends on user input, which can be both a strength and a weakness. If not well-moderated, it could potentially allow harmful or biased content.
- Barriers in the Game:
Technical Barriers: Some students may face technical issues or lack access to the internet or devices needed to play the game.
Language Barriers: Proficiency in the language the game is available in may be a barrier for non-native speakers.
- Exclusion:
Students who are uncomfortable with or lack access to technology may be excluded.
Students with cognitive or language difficulties may find it challenging to interact effectively with the AI.
- Fostering Creativity and Critical Thinking:
AI Dungeon encourages creativity by allowing students to craft and explore their narratives.
It promotes critical thinking as students must make decisions, solve problems, and consider the consequences of their actions within the game’s context.
- Content and Skills Activation:
Content can be highly variable, as it depends on user input, but it can cover a wide range of topics.
Skills activated include creative writing, decision-making, problem-solving, and imagination.
- Assessment of Learning:
Analyzing the quality and creativity of students’ narratives.
Evaluating their ability to make sound decisions and solve problems within the game.
Assessing their understanding of the consequences of their actions in the narrative.
