Incredibly flattered to see my name appearing on the nominations list for Most Inspiring Course Leader at the #GRAwards!
I don’t know exactly where the nomination came from, but my most heartfelt thanks to anyone who was kind enough to say nice things about me.
I’ll take silver 🥈! There’s so much more to celebrate too. A great NSS result, our are courses in the top 10 in the country, our research reach and impact has grown, with new PhD students helping expand our capabilities. Bring on the next academic year!
Delighted that The Department of Computing and Mathematics' Games Team (that's us) were awarded Highly Commended for Teaching Excellence at the @ManMetUni Staff Awards last week. A lovely recognition of all the excellent teaching we deliver!
Three teams of game development students from Manchester Met have been selected to compete in
the prestigious @tranzfuser industry competition that will help them launch their own companies. 🎮
ALT Classifying players into well defined groups can be useful when designing games and gamified systems, with many models relating to player or personality ‘type’. The Unified Model of Personality and Play Styles groups together many player and personality taxonomies, but whilst similarities have been noted in previous work, the overlap between models has not been analysed ahead of its use. This study provides evidence both for and against aspects of the Unified Model, with model agreeability assessed through comparison of participant classifications. Results show that representations of types related by the Unified Model do correlate significantly greater than types unrelated by the model, but do so with only weak-to-moderate correlation coefficients. Ranking classifications leads to results better mapping to the Unified Model, but also reduces the overall strength of correlations between types...
On my way back home after a short trip to Tübingen for the EU-FairPlay network meeting. Thank you for inviting me to present my research on biofeedback in games. I’m glad to have met everyone who attended and learn about how games and games technical is being used across the EU
