Serious Games : "A Ludic Constraint" ? Video games, work and instrumentalizations (Broacasting our studies)
The serious game combines fun means with a productive, educational or communicational purpose. The book approaches the subject from an original angle, starting from the functions of playful activity in the animal world to question the paradoxical purposes in the production and use of video games.

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.

Preface of the book ?The Gamification Toolbox? (Broacasting our studies)
These days, we're seeing an increase in references to the culture of games and video games. It's in this context that we find the phenomenon of gamification.
