Expanding the magic circle in pervasive casual play (Broacasting our studies)
In this document we present proposals for merging the fictional game world with the real world taking into account the profile of casual players. To merge games with reality we resorted to the creation of games that explore diverse real world elements. We focused on sound, video, physiological data, accelerometer data, weather and location. We made the choice for these real world elements because data, about those elements, can be acquired making use of functionality already available, or forese [...]Keywords : Casual games, Pervasive games, Sound, Video, Physiological data, Electrodermal activity, Accelerometer, Weather

A multi-agent system for learner assessment in serious games: Application to learning processes in crisis management (Broacasting our studies)
Serious Games (SG) are more and more used for training in various domains, especially in crisis management domain. In order to improve training results, learner assessment can provide insights on what went right or wrong during a training session. Learner assessment requires monitoring (data acquisition in a virtual environment) and supporting learners' feedback (on learners' decisions and actions), which Intelligent Tutoring Systems address as a main issue, as a mean to individualise learning.

La création de Newsgames pour développer l'esprit critique d'élèves-ingénieurs : une expérimentation empirique (Broacasting our studies)
In a video game design teaching course, we chose to replace the creation of entertainment videogames by the creation of Newsgames (i.e. Serious Games about news topics). Thanks to this change, our course seems to be able to enhance the critical thinking skills of students while still teaching them how to design videogames. For example, several students designed different videogames about the same news topic. This project required them to exchange their own opinions and discuss about the news top [...]Keywords : newsgame, design, project based learning
MuseUs: Case study of a pervasive cultural heritage serious game (Broacasting our studies)
This article describes a case study on MuseUs, a pervasive serious game for use in museums, running as a smartphone app. During the museum visit, players are invited to create their own exposition and are guided by the application in doing so. The aim is to provide a learning effect during a visit to a museum exhibition. Central to the MuseUs experience is that it does not necessitate a predefined path trough the museum and that it does not draw the attention away from the exposition itself. Als [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Museum, Smartphone, Cultural heritage

Characterization and Evaluation of Serious Games: A Perspective of Their Use in Higher Education (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Serious games are video games or computer games designed for training or educational purposes. Thanks to the interesting and useful opportunities that they provide such as interactivity, immersion, simulation they become well accepted and well spread among professional and academic fields. However, the selection of the most suitable serious games to a specific educational goal seems to be not well studied in the literature. This paper tries to meet this research gap by developing a new [...]Keywords : Games, Training, Business, Biological system modeling, Educational institutions, Entertainment industry
