Dynamical modeling of the middle ear and tools organs interactions to develop a simulator applied to otological surgery (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Microsurgery of the middle ear requires high dexterity due to the finesse and the extreme sensitivity of the structures involved. Learning this surgery is delicate and is performed at the end of the residency. This work focuses on the development of a mechanical finite element model of the anatomical structures that compose the middle ear in order to design a surgical simulator. The objectives are to provide a versatile tool for learning and training of the surgery by surgical pra [...]Keywords : Medical and surgical simulations, Robotics, Computer science, Haptics, Minimally-invasive, Educational, Microsurgery
Serious game : questions et réflexions autour de son appropriation dans un contexte d'enseignement (Broacasting our studies)
This communication addresses the issue of the appropriation of the Serious Game object by an ecosystem, particularly in the education area. The starting point begins with the observation that the video game is a basis for the development of many Serious Games. As such, this raises a set of resistors, including from parents of students and media. The video game is seen as negative, particularly by the violent images that some titles call. This can thereby impacting negatively inf [...]Keywords : Appropriation, Video Game, Serious Game, Accompaniment, Complexity
Virtual Simulations and Serious Games in Community Health Nursing Education: A Review of the Literature (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThe recent shift in healthcare delivery from that of the hospital to the community calls for skilled community health nurses. The role and practice of community health nurses differs from that of a nurse clinician. Unlike the skills required for that of a nurse clinician, much of the skills required for community health nursing and their application cannot be developed and practised within newly developed and highly innovative practice laboratory facilities where the focus of patient car [...]Keywords : Virtual Simulation, Serious Game
Game-based Learning for Systems Engineering Concepts (Broacasting our studies)
Game-based learning has the potential to improve the education and performance of engineers and decision makers in the systems engineering field. This paper reviews the arguments for the use of educational gaming, with particular attention to the aspects of game-based learning that are well suited to tackling the complex sociotechnical systems engineering problems that currently are trusted only to experts with years of experience. It also describes the development of an educational game, Space [...]Keywords : systems engineering education, systems thinking, educational games, game-based learning
(Broacasting our studies)
In view to study the use and evaluation associating Serious Games in the context of education, should one consider whether players from different generations have different imaginaries when they are exposed to video games. Indeed, a teacher, because he has known video games from first generations, could convene the imaginary that its learners could interpret differently. To verify such a paradigm, this communication attempts to investigate whether players pioneers who&nb [...]Keywords : Imaginary, video game, retro gaming, serious game, lexicometric analysis

Mobile Game for Learning Bacteriology (Broacasting our studies)
This paper treats serious games. Recently, one of the game genres called serious game has become popular, which has other purposes besides enjoyments like education, training and so on. Especially, learning games of the serious games seem very attractive for the age of video games so that the authors developed a mobile game for learning bacteriology as one of the achievements of their research project. In this paper, the authors introduce the game and show evaluated results about its learning ef [...]Keywords : Serious games, Mobile learning, Educational contents, Bacteriology
An overview of serious games (Broacasting our studies)
Serious games are growing rapidly as a gaming industry as well as a field of academic research. There are many surveys in the field of digital serious games; however, most surveys are specific to a particular area such as education or health. So far, there has been little work done to survey digital serious games in general, which is the main goal of this paper. Hence, we discuss relevant work on serious games in different application areas including education, well-being, advertisement, cultura [...]Mapping and Analysing Prospective learning for technologies: Results from a consultation with European stakeholders and roadmaps for policy action (Broacasting our studies)
The Europe 2020 strategy acknowledges that a fundamental transformation of education and training is needed to address the new skills and competences that will be required if Europe is to remain competitive, overcome the current economic crisis and grasp new opportunities. Innovating in education and training is a key priority in several flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy, in particular the Agenda for New Skills and Jobs, Youth on the Move, the Digital Agenda, and the Innovation Un [...]Keywords : Learning, Serious Game, Game
