"Distance" Hypothesis applied to robot-pedagogy for children in kindergarten (Broacasting our studies)
The Blue Bot project involved 230 five-year-old pupils of kindergarten in the Nord-Pas de Calais Region (France). The goal was to introduce them to coding, decoding and programming design. A ludopedagogy session was proposed with three main modalities: Body, Robot and Tablet. The statistical results confirmed the reliability of the scientific experiment and highlighted that the two modality combining Robot and Tablet recorded the highest performance scores in a pre- and posttest type evaluation [...]Keywords : Robot, Pedagogy, Tablet PC, Comparative Study, kindergarten, programming design, Coding, Decoding
Critical Analysis of Learning Models (Broacasting our studies)
Edgar Dale’s pyramid is often associated with percentages by training organizations to promote active pedagogies. However, this model has a marketing origin and no scientific basis. It is therefore appropriate to turn to other models such as those of Agyris, Schön and Kolb (1984), which emphasize the importance of learning by doing. At the same time, by studying these different models, we can identify the extent to which the use of games and, by extension, serious games ar [...]Keywords : Learning models, Serious Game, Evaluation

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
A Serious Game for the development of the professional skills of operators in aseptic zone : definition of a holistic model of design and usage studie (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Serious games (SGs) are a very widespread training and evaluation device, employed in different sectors of school and adult education. In this study we aim to design and develop a SG for training and evaluating personals working in aseptic environment. We will present in this research the theoretical basis needed for that design process. We will define a holistic and united model (PEGADE), which describes the collaborative and optimal process to conceive SGs and which is constructe [...]Keywords : Serious game, Serious game Design, Simulation, Gamification, Instructional Design, Virtual Reality
IMPROVING SERIOUS GAME DESIGN THROUGH A DESCRIPTIVE CLASSIFICATION: A COMPARATION OF METHODOLOGIES (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT Serious game provides an instructional tool to make the learning process more enjoyable, easier to memorize and effective. It combines pedagogy goals and game play to increase the participant interest and engagement compared to traditional methods. In this paper, we compare several methodologies of game design relative to our classification proposal; it can assist the analysis and evaluation of serious game design, we illustrate how this classification helps several actors of desi [...]Keywords : Comparative Study, Serious Game, Learning, Game Design
The Experimental Method as an Evaluation Tool in Serious Games Research and Development (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThis chapter aims to provide the reader with basic knowledge about the experiment as a general method that can be applied towards serious games research and evaluation. It explains the main terms and rules of the experimental design, as well as points out the main risks and difficulties to avoid. The chapter also explains the differences in possible conclusions between true experiments, quasi-experiments, and correlational studies.

Digital Educational Games: Methodologies for Development and Software Quality (Broacasting our studies)
Development of a game in the form of software for game-based learning poses significant technical challenges for educators, researchers, game designers, and software engineers. The game development consists of a set of complex processes requiring multi-faceted knowledge in multiple disciplines such as digital graphic design, education, gaming, instructional design, modeling and simulation, psychology, software engineering, visual arts, and the learning subject area. Planning and managing such a [...]Keywords : Digital game development, Educational game development, Game development life cycle, Game development methodology, Game development processes, Game development workflows, Game software quality evaluation, Game-based learning
A Practical Evaluation of the Influence of Input Devices on Playability (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractInnovations being achieved with interactive devices (screens, sensors etc.) allow the development of new forms of interaction for many applications. Videogames played with these devices are completely changing how we use them and taking advantage of intuitive interfaces. Based on that, we ask “What aspects of playability are affected using different input devices for a certain gaming task and how is gaming performance affected?”. Our contribution is to present a practical eva [...]Keywords : Emotions in HCI, Entertainment systems, Evaluation methods and techniques, User Experience, Input devices
The Effects of a Customisable Pedagogical Agent in a Serious Game Teaching Art Concepts to Middle School Students (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract During this project a serious game was created, which included a pedagogical agent to teach middle schoolers about art concepts. The game is used to test if the option to customise the agent would have an effect on fun, knowledge gain, and how the player rated the agent. This game consists of five mini games and a character creator. The mini games each focused on teaching a specific art concept; perspective, image cropping, composition, genre, and colour blending. The player can cu [...]Keywords : Serious game
