Gamification Set Collection
I recently codeveloped a game with a colleague who teaches a course in global studies to advanced high school students. We called the game Global Shuffle, and it was meant to simulate two realities of the 21st century global marketplace. First, the developed world creates certain kinds of resources, and the developing world creates different resources. Though this is true, these resources relate to each other and have a reflexive quality; resources that are available or made in the developed world sometimes require resources from the developing world, and vice versa. Second, the global capitalist marketplace has a large number of desirable things in it—from an iPad designed in California to a fancy hotel in Thailand. All of these things take resources to buy. In our game, students gathered resources using the Set Collection mechanic and were then given the opportunity to buy things in a simulated marketplace.
