Psychological variables mediated by the serious game in the professional insertion and training (Broacasting our studies)
This article presents a state of the art on the link between serious games and psychological variables and their influence on social outcome. Thus, it puts into perspective different research on games and their evolution in the work world, analyzes their impact on job seekers’s learning and behavior, before highlighting the serious game catalytic effects in professional insertion and training. The research perspectives induced by this article are the job search’s gamification and the [...]Keywords : Serious game, Insertion, Dispositional variables, Counseling
A Multi-Agent Simulation of Serious Games to Predict Their Impact on E-Learning Processes (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games constitute actually a recent and attractive way supposed to replace the classical boring courses. However, the choice of the adapted serious game to a specific learning environment remains a challenging task that makes teachers unwilling to adopt this concept. To fill this gap, we present, in this paper, a multi-agent-based simulator allowing to predict the impact of a serious game integration in a learning environment given several game and players characteristics. [...]Keywords : Emotion, Learning process, Multi-agent simulation, Serious games
AL-KIMIA: APRENDER QUÍMICA A TRAVES DE LA GAMIFICACIÓN DE SU HISTORIA (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract How to create an interactive product that encourages high school students to get in contact with the world of chemistry. Or how to get high school students pay any attention to the discipline of chemistry through an interactive entertainment application that besides entertaining can teach some of the most basic concepts of the The science that can better explain the progress of humanity. In the following lines we will present the steps taken in the design an interactive entertainme [...]Keywords : Video games, Game Mecanics, Design, Aesthetics, chemistry, School, Learning
Linking normative and descriptive research with serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)
In this paper, we propose an environment to support collaborative modding, as a new way to learn a subject. Modding can be defined as the activity to modify an existing game with dedicated tools. In a constructivist approach, we base our work on the assumption that modding a learning game can help learners to acquire the concepts of the subject concerned. We also think that modding in collaborative settings can help learners both to learn the subject and to learn to collaborate. We first propose [...]Keywords : Modding, Game development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
Learning game 2.0: support à l'apprentissage collaboratif par la modification de jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)
Les outils de modding créés depuis quelques années permettent aux joueurs de modifier leurs jeux vidéo de plus en plus facilement. On observe que les personnes qui ont modifié un jeu acquièrent à cette occasion des connaissances sur son fonctionnement et ses contenus. L'idée que nous développons ici est l'application de ce principe aux learning games, pour faire du jeu 2.0 un moyen d'appropriation des connaissances accessible à [...]Keywords : Apprentissage collaboratif, Learning game, Modding
Feedback on the integration of a serious game in the data modeling learning (Broacasting our studies)
Data Modeling (DM) is an important area in the Information System (IS) learning. In particular, in the IS analysis phase business analysts need to provide a comprehensive notation to avoid misunderstanding between software engineers and customer. Teaching DM is a challenging task, mainly because it lays great emphasis on theory. It remains often abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real setting. In order to better motivate learners, this paper aims to assess the integration of Se [...]Keywords : Serious Games, Gamification, Innovation Minitrack, Data modeling learning, INNOV8, IS learning, Teaching DM
Using Players? Gameplay Action-Decision Profiles to Prescribe Training: Reducing Training Costs with Serious Games Analytics (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— Players’ gameplay action-decision data can be used towards profiling as serious games analytics. The insights gained can help support the decisions for performance improvement and as ‘prescriptions’ for training – e.g., diagnosing who should receive training, how much training will be given, informing the design of the game, and determining the contents for inclusion and exclusion. Data-driven training prescription can help learning organizations save mone [...]Keywords : Serious Games Analytics, Similarity measures, Performance improvement, Reducing training cost, Training prescription
Design of a Serious Game for Handling Obstetrical Emergencies (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACTBackground: The emergence of new technologies in the obstetrical field should lead to the development of learning applications, specifically for obstetrical emergencies. Many childbirth simulations have been recently developed. However, to date none of them have been integrated into a serious game.Objective: Our objective was to design a new type of immersive serious game, using virtual glasses to facilitate the learning of pregnancy and childbirth pathologies. We have elaborat [...]Keywords : Serious game, Obstetric emergencies, Gynecology
Learning Business Process Management through Serious Games: Feedbacks on the Usage of INNOV8 (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Business processes play a major role in the Information System (IS) domain. Business Process Management (BPM) approaches offer languages, methods and tools for modeling, execution and optimizing business processes. However, these approaches are often difficult to understand by the learners. In particular, the modeling phase often remains abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real settings. In order ato better motivate BPM learners, several BPM's Serious Games (SG) has bee [...]Keywords : Games, Companies, Training, Information systems, Business process management, Graphics, serious games (computing), business data processing
Automatic Extraction of Gameplay Design Expertise: An Approach Based on Semantic Annotation (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractA Game Based Learning System (GBLS) constitutes an interesting learning environment. However, many problems are facing the general adoption of learning approaches based on this system. For instance, complexity of GBLS design process and problems of integrating learning outcomes with fun aspects constitute the major challenges. Therefore, novice game designer have not only to acquire specific skills and expertise but also to acquire them in an efficient and active pedagogical manner. For [...]Keywords : GBLS, Gameplay, Automatic knowledge extraction, Ontology learning
