A formal approach to distinguish Games, Toys, Serious Games & Toys, Serious Re-purposing & Modding and Simulators (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— While the serious game concept has considerably evolved in the last two decades, it still needs to be clearly differentiated from other types of artifacts. Thus, there is a degree of confusion about the relationship between serious games and other related applications such as simulators or the re-purposing of entertainment games within educational practices for most outside the domain. This article proposes a formal approach toward classifying Games, Toys, Serious Games, Serious [...]Keywords : Formal definition, Health, Health Game, Serious Game, Serious Modding, Serious Re-purposing, Serious Toy, Simulator
Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
This article investigated whether it is possible to establish correspondences between game mechanics and particular cognitive stimulations. There are many challenges to prevent and treat cognitive decline with aging or neurocognitive disease. Observing difficulties to establish such correspondences in the scientific literature, we proposed to move away from “classification by genre” or any other type of taxonomy that deviates from the framework of the “Rules/Formal schemas&rdqu [...]Keywords : video games, serious games, game mechanics, cognitive functions, executive functions

Datagames: Questioning About the Unproductive Criterion of Play (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT. This paper proposes to question one of the criteria proposed by Roger Caillois to define both play and game. This criterion is the 4th in relation to unproductivity. Based on the datagame, a game category belonging to the Serious Game, we propose a hypothetic- deductive approach to analyze this fourth criterion. At the same time, this process let us to explore the concept of datagame and the identification of benefits for the players.

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
Serious Games for Vocational Training: From Emotional Labor to Knowledge Transfer (Broacasting our studies)
SummaryBased on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations. After defining emotional labor, it discusses issues related to the use of a serious game as mediation; whether or not it is accepted; and whether it contributes to the possibility of better regulating emotions. The results suggest that knowledge transfer, in and around work situations, is related more to the acceptan [...]Keywords : Emotional Labor, Knowledge transfer, Recruitment schemes, Serious Escape Game, Vocational training, Work situations
Evaluation of serious play and serious play design (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract. In the idea of evaluating a Ludopedagogy sequence, it is necessary to have a systematic evaluative model taking into account different parameters: context, learner, useful dimensions, interactions, interactivities... It is in this dynamic that we proposed the CEPAJe model which proposes to cross five dimensions: the context, the teacher, the educational scenario, the learner and the game. In order to illustrate the use of the CEPAJe model, this article proposes to review three con [...]Keywords : Evaluation, Serious Game, Serious Play, Serious Gaming, Ludopedagogy, Model, CEPAJe
Ludo Pedagogy ? Why use it? (Broacasting our studies)
Ludo Pedagogy – Why use it?Ludo Pedagogy is a pedagogical method that uses games or serious games. The simple fact of using games or serious games into a pedagogy, inscribes us in edutainment.

In a modern edutainment approach, the challenge is to teach "with [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Ludopedagogy, Education, Gamification

DICE: A Generic Model for the Design Process of Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
This article deals with serious game design methods. More specifically, it focuses on the following question: is there any universal series of steps to design a serious game? Or is the availability of several different design methods unavoidable? To try to answer this question, we will study a corpus of ten design methods suited to Serious Games. Most of these theoretical tools are coming from or aimed to industry professionals. This literary review will allow us to perform a comparative [...]Keywords : game design, serious game, methodology, generic model
