Computer games, mostly because of their high level of production costs, are mostly commercialized. In recent years, rapid developments in the area of Information and Communication Technologies allowed for new forms of commercialization of computer games, and significantly changed the solutions that publishers use for their economic benefit. The paper describes the most popular models for commercialization of computer games and discusses results of research on how the gamers themselves view those models.

Trudność w nauczaniu programowania komputerów motywuje do podejmowania prób realizowania tego zadania z wykorzystaniem nowatorskich technik i narzędzi. W niniejszym artykule opisano eksperyment polegający na użyciu w tym celu internetowej platformy Flippi, łączącej funkcjonalności systemu planowania powtórek, sieci społecznościowej oraz elementów gamifikacji. Jakkolwiek niespodziewany przebieg eksperymentu nie pozwolił na osiągnięcie pierwotnie założonych celów badawczych, ostatecznie udało się jednak wyciągnąć wnioski, które mogą być użyteczne przy wdrażaniu analogicznych (zawierających elementy gamifikacji) narzędzi do wspomagania nauczania.

The difficulty in teaching computer programming is the reason for trying various novel techniques and tools in this field. This paper describes an experiment in which the Flippi web platform, merging functionality of a spaced repetition system, a social network, and containing a number of gamification elements was used. Although the experiment failed to attain the planned research aims, it eventually led to drawing conclusions that may be useful when a similar tool (having elements of gamification) is introduced for supporting education.

In practice, the high quality of educational processes and content can hardly be achieved and maintained without monitoring. And since tracking the results is not enough, it is necessary to find existing flaws and identify their causes. In this paper, it is argued that even small data sets such as students' test results can provide valuable information useful to improve further iterations of teaching and learning outcomes verification processes and educational materials. Next, the appropriateness of graphical analysis for this purpose is pointed out taking its simplicity even for non-statisticians and its ability to visualize entire small data sets with high precision into account. However, the primary aim of this paper is to provide practical examples showing that the Python programming language (with a selection of specialized modules) can be used in a convenient and effective manner for graphical analysis of small educational data sets. For the purpose of demonstration case study, actual test results were used. Analysis examined: correctness and confidence of students answering respective test questions, correlations between results based on question type and relevant content area, and also similarities of answers given by different students. Also, a Python-based software environment for graphical analysis has been compared to Microsoft Excel.

Artykuł dotyczy zagadnienia projektowania i implementacji aplikacji mobilnych pełniących funkcję interaktywnych przewodników multimedialnych (e-przewodników) po atrakcjach turystycznych. Zaproponowano w nim autorską specyfikację procesu tworzenia e-przewodników opracowaną w związku z realizacją projektu BalticMuseums: Love IT!, zmierzającego do przygotowania i wdrożenia opartych na e-przewodnikach tras zwiedzania wielu atrakcji turystycznych, różnego typu, na obszarze Południowego Bałtyku. Przyjmując, że sami zwiedzający mogą najlepiej doradzić w takim projektowaniu i implementacji e-przewodników, by rezultat końcowy spełniał ich oczekiwania, za podstawę metodyczną proponowanego procesu przyjęto projektowanie zorientowane na użytkownika. W artykule opisano podstawy wybranego podejścia, przedstawiono wynikające ze specyfiki projektu założenia, które uwzględniono przy formułowaniu proponowanego procesu, a przede wszystkim opisano jego etapy i wykazano jego zgodność z przyjętą podstawą metodyczną.

The paper addresses the issue of design and development of mobile apps providing the functionality of interactive multimedia guides (e-guides) for tourist attractions. It proposes a new specification of the e-guide development process, designed within the framework of the BalticMuseums: Love IT! project aimed at designing and implementing e-guide-based tours in a number of diverse tourist attractions of the South Baltic area. Assuming that it is the visitors themselves that can help best in such design and development of e-guides that the final result meets the visitors’ expectations, the proposed process has been based on the user-centered design methodology. The paper describes the basics of the chosen approach, presents the assumptions which affected formulation of the proposed process, and, most of all, defines its stages as well as demonstrates its compliance with the adopted methodological approach.

Teaching computer game design is justified by the dynamic growth in the industry and the computer games market which makes it necessary to deliver specialized knowledge to students, enabling them to more easily start professional activity in this area. Another reason is shaping general personal values, such as development of creativity, ability to work in technically and economically restricted circumstances, as well as the organization and coordination of a design team. This article is an introduction to a discussion about teaching computer game design: it confronts students' expectations towards the subject (derived from an anonymous poll) with the actual market demands, which is aimed to help define and improve the courses on offer in higher education.
