Skill assessment in learning experiences based on serious games: A systematic mapping study (Broacasting our studies)

AbstractSerious games are games with an educational purpose. In these games, players develop their skills by facing a number of challenges, and students are assessed according to their game playing behaviour. Assessment of serious game-based learning experiences has to take into account diverse features as game genre, pedagogical aim or game context. This paper analyses how skills are usually assessed in learning experiences based on serious games. To reach this objective, a systematic mapping s [...]

A video game for learning is a complex computer system whose objective is to teach a learner new skills in a specific area of knowledge. Interdisciplinary teams responsible for this type of video game face significant communication and design challenges. They must therefore be able to rely on a formal and well-structured process in order to deal with the delicacy of bringing together education and video games. The method described in this paper combines instructional engineering video game devel [...]

Communication system and team situation awareness in a multiplayer real-time learning environment: application to a virtual operating room (Broacasting our studies)

AbstractDigital multi-player learning games are believed to represent an important step forward in risk management training, especially related to human factors, where they are trusted to improve the performance of a team of learners in reducing serious adverse events, near-misses and crashes in complex socio-technical systems. Team situation awareness is one of the critical factors that can lead the team to consider the situation with an erroneous mental representation. Then, inadequate decisio [...]

Creating Story-Based Serious Games Using a Controlled Natural Language Domain Specific Modeling Language (Broacasting our studies)

AbstractCreating serious games calls for a multidisciplinary design team, including game developers, subject-matter experts, pedagogical experts, and narrative designers. However, such multidisciplinary teams often experience communication and collaboration problems due to differences in terminology, background and the concerns of the people involved. As one step towards solving this problem, we developed a modeling language for authors of serious games to specify both the story and the pedagogi [...]

Entraves à l'attitude ludique avec un jeu sérieux intégré dans une formation managériale : un exercice plus qu'un jeu  ? (Broacasting our studies)

This article explores the boundary between the world of simulation games (referred to as « serious games »), and work. Our interest was in examining a helicopter simulator integrated game used to train 350 managers per year. This qualitative research, based on the theoretical and methodological framework of the psychosociology of work, aims at understanding the perception which professionals, namely managers, have, of the device and its environment, as well as the way they [...]
