Managerial skills and soft skills developed in entrepreneurial games (Broacasting our studies)
On the work market and for corporate recruiters, soft skills have become increasingly sought-after. Technical skills are always present, but they are no longer sufficient on the employment market. As part of this dynamic, serious games can be used as tools to work more specifically on managerial skills. After underlining the importance of these skills, we propose a selection of titles and a critical look at games that can stimulate and reinforce them.Keywords : managerial skills, education, game, play, serious game, soft skills
Onion soup and management: the utilitarian instrumentalization of videogames (Broacasting our studies)
In the context of serious games, this chapter asks whether it is possible, in a formal situation, to superimpose utilitarian and game objectives while preserving both parties. We hypothesize that the answer to this research question is affirmative. To verify this, we are studying it from two angles: that of the artifact (Serious Game) and that of the activity (edutainment session). In our attempt to test our hypothesis, using an edutainment session based on a video game, we have identified a rec [...]Keywords : Edutainement, Serious games, Serious Gaming, Instrumentalization, Video games, Mediation, Learning, Ludopedagogy

Ludopedagogy: what if we used games to develop soft skills? Interview with Julian Alvarez (Broacasting our studies)
Edutainment, or the art of integrating game mechanisms into learning, is proving an increasingly popular approach within companies. Motivating learners, engaging them and even improving memorization - the benefits of games are well established. However, behind its many advantages also lie challenges and ethical issues. Julian Alvarez, PhD in information and communication sciences - specializing in edutainment, serious games and gamification - addresses these issues in his latest book, “Ser [...]Keywords : Softskills, Serious games, Ludopedagogy, Edutainment
Serious games and design thinking: a possible combinaison? (Broacasting our studies)
This chapter presents two socio-technical systems that combine the use of serious games, especially digital ones, with design thinking. The aim of this approach is to test whether such a combination is possible. To this end, we conduct a comparative study of two serious games in which we were involved. Through a reflexive approach and by mobilizing surveys and field studies, the approach is not only feasible, but also allows for a good complementarity between game phases and design thinking. How [...]Keywords : Serious games, Serious Play, Design Thinking, Edutainment, Video games, Activities, Game Design
Serious games: practices and effects in the world of work (Broacasting our studies)
The aim of this conference is to explain the notion of instrumentalizing play in the workplace, and to look at possible approaches.

In conclusion, we'll explain why social play is undoubtedly to be preferred to solo play, and list some recommendations.Keywords : Ethics, Serious game, Business games, Instrumentalization, Serious gaming

When we think of play, we first think of a childish activity whose sole purpose is to entertain. But the proof is in the pudding: adults play! Whether it's trading cards or video games, gaming isn't just for kids! In fact, it's even become serious. In this episode, Julian Alvarez, a doctor in information and communication sciences specializing in Serious Games and Gamification dedicated to education, health and communication, explains what a Serious Game is, and the educational issue [...]Keywords : Serious game, Game, Play, Toy, Children, Video game, Board games
