The study will be conducted via Zoom. While you play the game, you will be asked to share your screen, which will be recorded. You do not need to turn on your camera, but a microphone is required.
The goal is to evaluate a video game about sustainable forestry. Your participation in this study will help to further develop the game as well as contribute to the advancement of knowledge.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Magdalena Samonigg (magdalena.samonigg@jku.at)

Consent
Please read carefully.
During this study, you will be asked to play a video game, complete a questionnaire and respond to further questions during an interview. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before and after the study.
A screen recording will be made during the play session to help with further analysis. Additionally, the game statistics and game actions from the play session will be saved. The interview session will be recorded and transcribed for analysis. Both recordings will be deleted at the end of the project. Any excerpts used in reports will be anonymised, so you will not be identifiable.
All the information that we collect about you is kept strictly confidential. Confidentiality will be respected subject to legal constraints and professional guidelines. Your contact details will only be used in the project context, and kept only as it is required to conduct this project until the end of 2028. Should you have any issues or questions, please contact Magdalena Samonigg (magdalena.samonigg@jku.at) or Prof. Günter Wallner (guenter.wallner@jku.at).
