Digital training in the aeronautical industry: measuring the usability of two mobile applications (2020)
Journal Article
Smy, P. J., Donald, I., Scott-Brown, K., & Falconer, R. E. (2020). Digital training in the aeronautical industry: measuring the usability of two mobile applications. Frontiers in Computer Science, 2, https://doi.org/10.3389/fcomp.2020.00022

The air traffic control industry is highly regulated, with stringent processes and procedures to ensure that IP (Intellectual Property) and workplaces are kept secure. The training of air traffic controllers (ATCs) and other roles relating to air tra...

Reality inspired games: expanding the lens of games' claims to authenticity (2020)
Conference Proceeding
McMillan, R., Jayemanne, D., & Donald, I. (2020). Reality inspired games: expanding the lens of games' claims to authenticity. In D. Leorke (Ed.), DiGRA '20

This paper considers the potentials of contemporary games staking claims to realism through documentary and journalistic techniques as part of a wide-ranging cultural and technological phenomenon– ‘Reality Inspired Games’ or RIGs (Maurin, 2018). We a... Read More about Reality inspired games: expanding the lens of games' claims to authenticity.

A theoretical framework for game jams in applied contexts (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Reid, A. J., Smy, P., & Donald, I. (2020). A theoretical framework for game jams in applied contexts. In D. Leorke (Ed.), DiGRA '20

Game jams encourage participants to define, explore, create, and disseminate games with respect to a pre-defined time-period and under specified constraints. Various methods and approaches have helped with establishing conventions, rules, and process... Read More about A theoretical framework for game jams in applied contexts.
