WJ4 Jamming For Science

[elvaq]

Hey everybody,

 

We've been contacted by a PHD student who is researching game jams and learning behavior with a request to have some people participate in a study by answering some very minor questionnaires before, during, and after Wizard Jam 4. Here are the deets:

The experiment is relatively simple, I am cataloguing the flow states of various game jams, to measure participant engagement and mood state using a variety of metrics and tools.

 

For this current iteration I need participants to fill out the form linked below 4 times.

 

Once just after the start of the Jam

Once just as they are submitting the final game 

And at 2 random intervals in the middle (preferably spread out)

 

Each of these times are picked at your discretion, and participants are encouraged to be as honest or as brutal as they like, even in regards to the form itself interrupting them.

All responses will be confidential and participants will be assigned a unique ID in the data so there will be no identification of who said anything.

 

Sounds kinda cool, no? The results will be presented at various games conferences and will ideally be used to improve education methodologies at game design schools.

 

If this sounds good to you, please use the link above to answer the questionnaires at the 4 times specified.

 

Thanks!
