A video game for learning is a complex computer system whose objective is to teach a learner new skills in a specific area of knowledge. Interdisciplinary teams responsible for this type of video game face significant communication and design challenges. They must therefore be able to rely on a formal and well-structured process in order to deal with the delicacy of bringing together education and video games. The method described in this paper combines instructional engineering video game devel

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

AbstractIn 2010 the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull paralyzed a large part of the European air traffic. Results were massive restrictions in the European and intercontinental air traffic. Even after canceling the aircraft grounding, airport operators, airlines, air traffic controllers, and ground handlers had to deal with the situation that the aircraft and crews were not in the places where they should have been for the correct execution of the flight plan. To

Abstract This paper describes: a scenario, agent specification, mapping of knowledge domain, an implementation of Bloom's taxonomy-based serious game (BoTySeGa), and players' response against the game. The development of BoTySeGa is pursued to the availability of an alternative assessment tool for learning in elementary school. It considers aspects: game knowledge, subject matter of parallelogram for 5th grade elementary school learners, and cognitive domain of Bloom's taxonomy. BoTySeGa's

Abstract: Language learning is a set of techniques and methods used together to teach fundamentals of a language, including writing, reading, listening and comprehension. Usually begins by teaching letters. The purpose of this research was to initiate a scientific approach using serious games in order to discover a proper way to learn Kurdish language by writing approach. We studied related fields i.e. level of using technology with elementary school students, the method of teaching Kurdish

Abstract:Wrist injuries are a common and frequent health issue requiring rehabilitation. Occupational and physical therapists create individual exercises for their patients, which include both ambulatory/stationary and home exercises. Practice and literature show, however, that autonomously performed exercises are likely not carried out accurately and may endanger progress of rehabilitation. We propose the design of WristDroid - an Android-based serious game to leverage execution of home exercis

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

As the title implies, The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers is a documentary about Japanese game developers. Originally, John Szczepaniak, a video game journalist, went to Japan in order to write a book about this topic (still in the works). During this trip he also filmed his interviews and encounters, which gave birth to a 4 hours long video documentary now available on DVD: This documentary follows John Szczepaniak's journey, with video segments featuring different materi

Abstract Learning about software modeling languages from documentation can be a difficult and confusing process, and many of the currently existing modeling language tutorials are only marginally better. At the same time, players of video games spend hours upon hours learning to play games that require mastering complex strategies and concepts, without losing motivation or interest. This success for motivating learning effort seen in many games, is in turn supporting an emerging trend of ed
