Design Games and Game Design: Relations Between Design, Codesign and Serious Games in Adult Education (Broacasting our studies)
As explained in the general introduction, experience design implies an "experience to be lived" (Vial, 2015) where the subjects "interact with their natural and artificial environment". If we can easily imagine a "natural" or "artificial" environment, there is an in-between proposed by the game. Neither totally "natural" because it can rely on artifacts, nor totally "artificial" because some animals pla [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Design Game, Game design, Gamification, Ungamification, Serious Game design, Serious Play design
Serious game for waste sorting on interactive tabletop with tangible objects: exploratory study (Broacasting our studies)
In the field of microbiology training, in which contaminated products must be handled and recycled, there are new needs in order to reduce risks and costs. New advances in Tangible interaction and serious game domains can provide solutions to answer these needs. We propose a serious game relating to waste sorting. It is available on a tangible tabletop equipped with RFID technology. The design and realisation using tangibility and gamification concepts are presented. An exploratory study with st [...]Keywords : Tangible interaction, Serious Game, Interactive tabletop, RFID, Gamification, Gameplay, Waste sorting, Microbiology

RDU Model dedicated to evaluate needed counsels for Serious Game projects (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThis paper aims at identifying the counsels that are necessary to achieve the Realization, Dissemination and Use of a Serious Game. In our opinion, these counsels are an additional facet for all Serious Game projects in order to target their ownership adoption and appropriate use (as intended by its designers) in a dedicated ecosystem (School, Hospital …). We propose to classify all these counsels in three main categories: R for Realization, D for Dissemination, and U for Use. By [...]Keywords : Counsels, Serious Game, Model, Ecosystem, Typology, Learning
Skill assessment in learning experiences based on serious games: A systematic mapping study (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractSerious games are games with an educational purpose. In these games, players develop their skills by facing a number of challenges, and students are assessed according to their game playing behaviour. Assessment of serious game-based learning experiences has to take into account diverse features as game genre, pedagogical aim or game context. This paper analyses how skills are usually assessed in learning experiences based on serious games. To reach this objective, a systematic mapping s [...]Keywords : Serious games, Game based learning, Systematic mapping study, Skill assessment, Interactive learning environments
The serious game in work integration: A comparative study between conventional method and edutainment method (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract This article focuses on a comparative study between conventional methods and serious games, and their impact on learning and motivation. Two hundred and fifty-one jobseekers including 130 enjoying an edutainment and 121 enjoying a conventional counseling, participated in the study. In addition, we conducted 157 interviews with counselors of professional insertion that accompanied these jobseekers. Our results show a significant difference between serious games and conventional [...]Keywords : Serious game, Insertion, Motivation, Learning, Unemployment
Linking normative and descriptive research with serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)
In this paper, we propose an environment to support collaborative modding, as a new way to learn a subject. Modding can be defined as the activity to modify an existing game with dedicated tools. In a constructivist approach, we base our work on the assumption that modding a learning game can help learners to acquire the concepts of the subject concerned. We also think that modding in collaborative settings can help learners both to learn the subject and to learn to collaborate. We first propose [...]Keywords : Modding, Game development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
Using Players? Gameplay Action-Decision Profiles to Prescribe Training: Reducing Training Costs with Serious Games Analytics (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— Players’ gameplay action-decision data can be used towards profiling as serious games analytics. The insights gained can help support the decisions for performance improvement and as ‘prescriptions’ for training – e.g., diagnosing who should receive training, how much training will be given, informing the design of the game, and determining the contents for inclusion and exclusion. Data-driven training prescription can help learning organizations save mone [...]Keywords : Serious Games Analytics, Similarity measures, Performance improvement, Reducing training cost, Training prescription
Design of a Serious Game for Handling Obstetrical Emergencies (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACTBackground: The emergence of new technologies in the obstetrical field should lead to the development of learning applications, specifically for obstetrical emergencies. Many childbirth simulations have been recently developed. However, to date none of them have been integrated into a serious game.Objective: Our objective was to design a new type of immersive serious game, using virtual glasses to facilitate the learning of pregnancy and childbirth pathologies. We have elaborat [...]Keywords : Serious game, Obstetric emergencies, Gynecology
