Title: "Collaborative Research: SoD-TEAM: Values at Play - Integrating Social Factors into Design"The focus of this project is on the development of a software design methodology, titled "Values at Play (VAP)" that takes values into account when developing software systems. The methodology, or set of best practices, addresses such issues as: how values can be consistently and systematically integrated into the design of software systems, how values investigations, in the context of technical design, can be made scientifically rigorous, and, the construction of a viable set of general software design principles that could lead to the integration of values across a variety of design tasks. The VAP project integrates the humanities, the arts, and social, and ethical interests into the scientific design of technological systems by specifically focusing on values in the design of games. The project involves three research activities including: 1. Development of a rigorous methodology (or, best practices) for supporting value conscious design; a handbook of the Values at Play methodology is made available in hardcopy and on the Web. This phase explores such issues as: how to identify values that might be relevant to a given design project, how to embody or express values in system design, how to engage in appraisal of whether and to what extent designers have successfully embedded target values in a given system. 2. Development of a values-in-design toolkit which includes: a) game building components to help students create games based on a values-orientation; and b) several working examples demonstrating values-to-design-feature correlations. 3. Assessment of design training interventions: the team will design several instruments to assess the values integration in the methodology and Toolkit. In addition to the research activities, this project engages faculty and practitioners in a Workshop about Values at Play. Embedding values within technological systems, and verifying that such systems actually reflects those values, is particularly appropriate using computer games since they affect larger society. This research will also be of use to educators and systems designers in the IT field considering game structures in their approaches as well as to scholars interested in the study of technology, society, and humanity. Potentially, this project might advance this line of inquiry to a pervasive, industry changing, international level of importance which not only promotes the humanistic study of these issues but enhances real products for real people.Program Manager: Anita J.

职务名称：“合作研究：SoD-TEAM：Values at Play - Integrating Social Factors into Design“这个项目的重点是开发一种软件设计方法，名为“Values at Play（VAP）”，在开发软件系统时将价值观考虑在内。该方法，或一套最佳实践，解决了这样的问题：如何价值观可以一贯和系统地集成到软件系统的设计，如何价值观的调查，在技术设计的背景下，可以作出科学严谨，以及，建设一套可行的通用软件设计原则，可以导致在各种设计任务的价值观的整合。VAP项目通过特别关注游戏设计中的价值观，将人文、艺术、社会和伦理利益融入技术系统的科学设计中。该项目包括三个研究活动，包括：1。为支持有价值意识的设计制定严格的方法（或最佳做法）;提供硬拷贝和网络版的价值观应用方法手册。这一阶段探讨的问题是：如何识别可能与特定设计项目相关的价值观，如何在系统设计中体现或表达价值观，如何评估设计师是否以及在多大程度上成功地将目标价值观嵌入特定系统。 2.开发设计中的价值观工具包，包括：a）游戏构建组件，以帮助学生创建基于价值观导向的游戏;以及B）几个工作示例，展示价值观与设计功能的相关性。 3.评估设计培训干预措施：该小组将设计若干工具，以评估方法和工具包中的价值观整合。除了研究活动外，该项目还邀请教师和从业人员参加关于价值观的研讨会。在技术系统中嵌入价值观，并验证这些系统实际上反映了这些价值观，特别适合使用计算机游戏，因为它们影响更大的社会。这项研究也将是有用的教育工作者和系统设计师在IT领域考虑游戏结构在他们的方法，以及学者感兴趣的技术，社会和人性的研究。潜在地，这个项目可能推进这条调查线到一个普遍的，产业变化的，重要性的国际水平，这不仅促进这些问题的人文研究，而且为真实的人增强真实的产品。项目经理：Anita J.
