- W2112535210 abstract "Recently the Centre for Program Evaluation (CPE) at the University of Melbourne was approached by a mental health agency to undertake the unique and challenging task of evaluating a prototype CD-ROM based adventure game designed for young people recovering from psychosis. This unsual and inventive game, titled Pogo's Pledge, used edutainment in the form a medieval fantasy quest to provide educational messages about psychosis for young people who are experiencing psychosis for the first time. To explore the potential educational effectiveness of the product, an innovative review was conducted using a range of multimedia professionals including gaming designers, multimedia, graphic/interface designers and multimedia educational designers together with first-episode psychosis. For the client who commissioned this evaluation interviews focusing on areas such as game induction, interface design, navigation, game play and quality of psycho-educational material revealed that a substantial redevelopment of the game would be needed for the CD-ROM to be an effective tool in helping young people recover from psychosis. For a broader audience the evaluation provides a fascinating case example of the utility of reviews when evaluating complex multimedia products, and offers a cautionary tale to designers of the hazards and pitfalls that can await well intended products than combine gaming and educational information for young people. The Centre for Program Evaluation at the University of Melbourne is an Australian evaluation and research centre that acts as a focus for the practice and theory of evaluation. In addition to its postgraduate teaching activities, the Centre for Program Evaluation (CPE) undertakes a substantial number of commissioned program evaluations on a consultancy basis across a wide range of policy and program areas. It is not unusual for evaluations as diverse as the use of information kiosks at postal services (Hurworth, 2002) and a review of emergency service training (Hurworth & Rutter, 2002) to be conducted concurrently by the centre at any given time. However, the CPE was recently presented with a very different and exciting evaluation challenge when it was approached by the Victorian based youth specific mental health agency, Orygen Youth Health, to conduct a review of the potential educational effectiveness of an advanced prototype computer game created for young people recovering from psychosis. The CD-ROM game, titled Pogo's Pledge, presented an inventive approach to psycho-education by integrating elements of gaming, contemporary animation and graphics, educational design, and topic-specific content to convey information about psychosis to players. The evaluation of Pogo's Pledge highlights for multimedia designers the utility of and expert user feedback when reviewing interactive educational software intended for special needs audiences, and provides an outline of the problems and issues that can emerge in products that attempt to integrate information and game play. More about Pogo's Pledge A single-player computer game, Pogo's Pledge uses edutainment, in the genre style of a fantasy-based adventure game, to provide educational messages about psychosis for young people who are experiencing psychosis for the first time. When using the game, a player assumes the role of a who sets out across a medieval land (Figure 1) to free a once happy and prosperous kingdom from the tyranny of the evil Lord Gruesome. The is accompanied and assisted in this adventure by a young character called Pogo. The character Pogo plays a significant role in events by helping the Hero (the game user) in his or her quest through the game, but who also occasionally experiences psychotic outbursts that players must learn about and treat if the game is to continue. …" @default.
