| Description | "The Miami Mini Golf game was the inaugural game design project for the Persuasive Play Lab at Miami University (http://www.PersuasivePlayLab.com). The lab is co-funded by Procter and Gamble and the Armstrong Institute. The game studio and research lab designs and evaluates persuasive play games, including advergames and social impact games. It is a rare organization paring students with real-world business clients in a hybrid professional-academic environment. It is supported by the Miami University digital innovation center in San Francisco (http://aims.muohio.edu/digitalinnovation/). The Miami Mini Golf game allows players to play a round of miniature golf on campus as a tour of the different campus buildings. The internal client, Miami University is a public university of 18000 students offering strong academic programs in a variety of undergraduate disciplines. U.S. News & World Report ranked Miami 3rd among the nation's top universities for its commitment to undergraduate teaching." |
