Design and Development of Effective and Customizable Educational Business Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Serious Games are becoming increasingly popular. In all domains they are used to transfer content to players by mixing learning with pleasure in order to make teaching more easy and fun. However many of them are designed in an ad-hoc way without structure. Several research efforts have been conducted to tackle this deficiency and to improve the design of these games. Despite the vast literature, the domain is still in its infancy and scattered. Serious games offer great opportunities for le [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Educational Business Game, Educational Game Design Framework, Educational Game Design Checklist, Game evaluation

An activity theory-based model for serious games analysis and conceptual design (Diffusion de nos travaux)
There are currently a number of models, frameworks and methodologies for serious games analysis and design that provide useful interpretations of the possibilities and limitations offered by serious games. However, these tools focus mostly on high-level aspects and requirements and do not help understand how such high-level requirements can be concretely satisfied. In this paper, we present a conceptual model, called Activity Theory-based Model of Serious Games (ATMSG), that aims to fill this ga [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Educational serious games, Serious games analysis, Serious games design, Activity theory
Gamification of Creativity: Exploring the Usefulness of Serious Games for Ideation (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractOrganizing for idea generation is a recurring challenge in intensive innovation contexts. The literature on ideation has reached a compelling consensus on the features that such organizational devices must possess to support sufficient creativity: learning processes and a creative climate of confidence to promote collaboration. However, current practical methodologies struggle to simultaneously realize these two features. In this paper, we explore the potential of Serious Games, a collab [...]Analysis and classification of serious games for cognitive stimulation (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:Serious games are an emerging technology that is growing in importance, providing benefits beyond pure entertainment in order to improve the users' realistic experience. Nowadays, there is increasing concern for people with cognitive troubles. Their cognitive capabilities could be improved so they can lead a better life. Serious games have great potential in stimulating cognitive abilities for different target audiences via multiple devices. Classifications of serious games should help [...]Mots-clés : Cognitive stimulation, Analysis, Classification, Serious games
Viable Health Games: Elements for Success (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The main purpose of this study is to identify the elements of children's health games that have a positive impact on children’s health. The investigation is done by evaluating previous health game studies concentrating on children and five health affairs (such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, nutrition and obesity). In order to do so, firstly the topic of children’s health games is explained through its roots, as it is an interdisciplinary topic pertinent with many other fields. For [...]Mots-clés : health games, Children
UNPACKING DIGITAL GAMEBASED LEARNING The complexities of developing and using educational games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT Digital game-based learning has traditionally been examined from an ‘artefact-centric’ perspective that focuses on understanding how game design and principles of learning are, or can be, intertwined. These types of examinations have resulted in many descriptions of games’ educational potential, which has subsequently led to many types of arguments for why games should be used more extensively in formal education. However, comparatively little research has been do [...]Mots-clés : Digital game-based learning, Serious Game
A renewed approach to serious games for cyber security (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:We are living in a world which is continually evolving and where modern conflicts have moved to the cyber domain. In its 2010 Strategic Concept, NATO affirmed its engagement to reinforce the defence and deterrence of its state members. In this light, it has been suggested that the gamification of training and education for cyber security will be beneficial. Although serious games have demonstrated pedagogic effectiveness in this field, they have only been used in a limited number of con [...]Mots-clés : serious games, framework, cyber security
Der Einsatz von Online Games als Self-Assessment im Recruiting (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Executive SummaryIn the case of bad hires companies are facing high costs. This is especially true for big and well-known companies, as they are receiving lots of applications every year for diverse positions. Hence, these companies have to establish a process in which they can select suitable applicants in an efficient way. In order to achieve this, employees of the HR-department can use different tools and methods. A relatively new method is the use of gamified self-assessment simulations.In t [...]How enterprises play: Towards a taxonomy for enterprise gamification (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Our research into the enterprise gamification domain was designed to investigate the different objectives, purposes, target audiences, game design patterns and technology used in gamified implementations. We found that a formal classification system was not only absent, but that it was essential to provide a baseline for developing and comparing gamification design strategies. To this purpose we identified 304 publicly available case studies of organizations that self-identified as having undert [...]Mots-clés : Taxonomy, Gamification, Enterprise systems, Classification, Design, Information systems, Strategic management, Serious games
