Maximum Similarity Index (MSI): A metric to differentiate the performance of novices vs. multiple-experts in serious games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractIn learning environments, appropriate objectives are needed to create the conditions for learning and consequently the performance to occur. It follows that appropriate metrics would also be necessary to properly measure what actually constitute performance in situ (within that environment), and to measure if learning has indeed occurred. Serious games environments can be problematic for performance measurement because publishers often posit the game would automatically facilit [...]Governance through Philitainment: Playing the Benevolent Subject (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis article analyzes Free Rice within the context of “the rise of the ludic sublime,” where video games are hailed as the solution to highly sophisticated political problems. As part of what we call practices of “philitainment,” Free Rice, we argue, functions within the political domain of what Jodi Dean has termed “communicative capitalism” and therefore both captures resistance and actually solidifies global capitalism. Ultimately, th [...]Mots-clés : Digital Games, Critical Theory, Governmentality, Philitainment, Development

Facilitation matters: A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis thesis explores the use of serious games from an instructor perspective. More specifically, it aims to study the roles of instructors and how they can be facilitated within an instructor-led game-based training environment. Research within the field of serious games has mostly focused on the learners' perspective, but little attention has been paid to what the instructors do and what challenges that entails. In this thesis, I argue that serious games, as artefacts used for learning [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Serious gaming, Game-based training

About using serious games to teach (Portuguese) sign language (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Sign language is the form of communication used by Deaf people, which, in most cases have been learned since childhood. The problem arises when a non-Deaf tries to contact with a Deaf. For example, when nonDeaf parents try to communicate with their Deaf child. In most cases, this situation tends to happen when the parents did not have time to properly learn sign language. This dissertation proposes the teaching of sign language through the usage of serious games. Currently, similar [...]Mots-clés : Natural User Interface, Sign Language, Serious Game, Kinect Sensor, Image Processing
Serious Games: A design methodology from concept to end-user (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract —Since 2002, serious games have received much attention from industry, government and the research community. However, the large number of definitions available still present limitations in terms of contexts and games classification. Indeed, these definitions exclude certain types of games and do not cover certain contexts where serious games could be deployed. Therefore this paper introduces a shift in the interpretation of serious games, allowing a more flexible definition [...]Learning Without Knowing: A study of playfulness in educational games (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Use of games in educational situations has intrigued scholars of different disciplines, presenting both favouring and opposing opinions.
