As part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science we (myself, my colleagues Keith Spiller, David Barnard Wills, Play with Learning Ltd and the Open Media Unit of the Open University) have produced an online version of the Privacy card trading game which David designed and presented at this year’s Surveillance and Society conference.
I don’t know if many of you have tried the card game, but the online version closely replicates the face to face gameplay, and we’ve made a version for facebook and non-facebook users. It’s aimed at the 18 – 25 year old age group. The card game is a really useful teaching tool as well and the online version will be available for a year if you’d like to have a go at playing it. You can download the cards from within the game.
We can still tweak it if you have any feedback – it’s not the next Farmville or anything but it is fun to play and it gets players thinking about the value of their personal information.
You can get to the game here: http://www.open.edu/openlearn/privacy or here: www.open.ac.uk/esrcfestival.
Have a good weekend
Best wishes
Kirstie
