KEYCIT 2014
(2015)
In our rapidly changing world it is increasingly important not only to be an expert in a chosen field of study but also to be able to respond to developments, master new approaches to solving problems, and fulfil changing requirements in the modern world and in the job market. In response to these needs key competencies in understanding, developing and using new digital technologies are being brought into focus in school and university programmes. The IFIP TC3 conference "KEYCIT – Key Competences in Informatics and ICT (KEYCIT 2014)" was held at the University of Potsdam in Germany from July 1st to 4th, 2014 and addressed the combination of key competencies, Informatics and ICT in detail. The conference was organized into strands focusing on secondary education, university education and teacher education (organized by IFIP WGs 3.1 and 3.3) and provided a forum to present and to discuss research, case studies, positions, and national perspectives in this field.
Erfolgreiches Verhandeln stellt einen Schlüsselfaktor für Unternehmenserfolge dar. Es angemessen zu trainieren kann jedoch sowohl zeitaufwendig als auch kostenintensiv werden, erfordert es doch idealerweise wiederholte, persönliche Übungen mit professionellen Verhandlungsführern oder Agenten. Digitale Trainingswerkzeuge können zwar ebenfalls Trainingserfolge erzielen, bieten aber eine mangelnde Authentizität der Übungssituation und erschweren somit den Transfer des Gelernten in den Berufsalltag. Das in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte Verhandlungstraining setzt Virtual Reality (VR) als Technologie für realitätsnahe Simulation ein, um eine räumlich authentische Übungssituation zu schaffen. Weiterhin dient ein sprachlich interagierendes Dialogsystem als automatisierter, virtueller Verhandlungsagent. Dieser wurde mit Interaktionsdaten aus einer Verhandlungsstudie trainiert und bietet Trainingspersonen somit einen wirksamen Übungspartner für das VR-Verhandlungstraining.
Students beginning their studies at university face manifold problems such as orientation in a new environment and organizing their courses. This article presents the implementation and successful empirical evaluation of the pervasive browser-based educational game "FreshUP", which aims at helping to overcome the initial difficulties of freshmen. In contrast to a conventional scavenger hunt, mobile pervasive games like FreshUP, bridging in-game and real world activities, have the potential to provide help in a motivating manner using new technology which is currently becoming more and more common.

Pervasive educational games have the potential to transfer learning content to real-life experiences beyond lecture rooms, through realizing field trips in an augmented or virtual manner. This article introduces the pervasive educational game "RouteMe" that brings the rather abstract topic of routing in ad hoc networks to real-world environments. The game is designed for university-level courses and supports these courses in a motivating manner to deepen the learning experience. Students slip into the role of either routing nodes or applications with routing demands. On three consecutive levels of difficulty, they get introduced with the game concept, learn the basic routing mechanisms and become aware of the general limitations and functionality of routing nodes. This paper presents the pedagogical and technical game concept as well as findings from an evaluation in a university setting.
