Creative Learning in Digital and Virtual Environments : Opportunities and Challenges of Technology-Enabled Learning and Creativity
Originally published as a special issue of the Creativity Research Journal, this volume gives a balanced and reflective account of the challenges and opportunities of technology-enabled creative learning in contemporary societies. Providing a current and updated account of the challenges posed by the Coronavirus to online education, chapters more broadly offer conceptual reflections and empirically informed insights into the impact of technology on individual and collective creativity and learning.These thoughts are explored in relation to school achievement, the development of digital educational resources, online collaboration, and virtual working.Further, the book also considers how the creative use of technology poses risks to learning through the accidental or deliberate dissemination of misinformation, and online manipulation of common societal values in the era of COVID-19. Creative Learning in Digital and Virtual Environments looks at the connection between creativity, learning, and school achievement, and analyses the impact of virtual environments on creative expression.It will appeal to postgraduate students in the fields of creativity and learning, as well as to students and academics involved with broader research in areas such as the role of technology in education, e-Learning and distance education.

Voices of Innovation - Payers : Opportunities for Creating Solutions to Improve Member Experience and Health
As the health delivery landscape in the United States evolves in a post-COVID-19 era, both incumbents and new entrants are reimagining models of care.Technology and medical advancements are transforming the way care is delivered and experienced, and changes in regulations and incentives across the industry are redefining how the healthcare system works and interacts.As a result, care delivery is undergoing several transformations: from sick care to preventative whole-person care, from intermittent to continuous care, from facility-based settings to omnichannel offerings through virtual care and video or telephonic technologies, and from standardized to personalized solutions.In addition to healthcare providers, payers are also redefining their role in care delivery through provider ownership, technology, and provider enablement to deliver higher-value care to members.While the payer community has been slow to innovate, they now have an opportunity and an incentive to play an active role in reimagining the future of care delivery.In the past year alone, significant disruptors have entered the provider space threatening the existence of payers, specifically self-funded programs such as Amazon and Walmart.This has served as a giant wake-up call that healthcare has shifted.Now, more than ever, there is an emphasis on the patient and clinician experience.Perhaps hastened by the pandemic, the race is on for innovations from the payer community to improve patient and provider engagement.Unlike other players, payers have end-to-end visibility into individual care needs and utilization patterns across providers and settings.This perspective can provide informed choices around optimal care models, unlock value through improved health outcomes, and lower the total cost of care for members and customers.This book is loaded with numerous case studies and interviews with healthcare leaders from the payer community, helping stakeholders understand how to leverage innovation leading them to superior business and clinical outcomes.The book also discusses how and why data is key to innovation activities and how partnerships are key to using data effectively.

The Power of Games : Business Impacts and Innovation Opportunities
Games have long played a central role in society – actually a central role in the animal kingdom.Their play provides primary behavioral mechanisms that enable animals to learn and socialize.Indeed, "play" is a core animal activity. The principal focus of this book is on how games foster human playing, learning, and competing, including how we can design games to do this better.The author provides a wealth of real-world examples of how he created games for clients in the domains of education, energy, healthcare, national security, and transportation.He has focused on training and aiding for strategic thinking, product planning, technology development, and business operations.The technologies underlying these games became increasingly sophisticated.This has taken on greater significance as the gaming industry has grown and prospered.Gaming revenues now dwarf film and theater. New games released gain millions of sales within a few days of release.What makes games so appealing? What is the psychology of gaming? Does it vary for card games, board games, simulation games, and online games?What makes a game successful over years? What about sports games? What sociological roles do they play in our society?Why do they claim such energy and devotion? Why are sports stars able to earn enormous contracts?What is the business of these games? Why is it expected to be increasingly lucrative? What strategies might succeed or fail? Who might be the losers and winners? This book addresses all of these questions as well as an overarching question for society – Can online games fundamentally enhance the education of employees and students?The author is convinced they can. This requires, however, that games be designed to achieve these ends.This book is intended to contribute to understanding how to create and evaluate such games.Essentially, games enable employees and managers to play, learn, compete, and achieve in terms of knowledge and skills gained, competencies attained, customers attracted, and economic outcomes.This book explains, illustrates, and motivates investments in these pursuits to these ends.
