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.

Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
