Learning games have created a buzz in the training industry. Games promise a motivating and fun learning environment, but do these games lead to better learning?
During this webinar, the Doorways to Dreams Fund (D2D), Enspire Learning, and the Skillpoint Alliance will discuss the development of the casual video game, “Celebrity Calamity.” While managing the finances of spendthrift celebrity, this new game teaches low- to moderate-income women the basics of credit and debit cards. For many in the target audience, personal finance education can be difficult, scary, and boring. Keeping players motivated and engaged was important, though only half the battle. For the game to be considered successful, players also had to emerge from the experience with the confidence -- and knowledge -- to manage their credit and debit card accounts. To facilitate this, D2D and Enspire conducted rigorous user experience testing during the iterative production process. Later, efficacy testing was used to determine knowledge and confidence changes as a result of the game. The preliminary results? Tests with small samples showed a 50-70% improvement in financial knowledge and a 15-30% confidence increase in key areas.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
