Math Smashers is an arcade game that will challenge both your dexterity and your mental calculation skills.Each level is made of bubbles floating around. Each bubble holds a number. You play as a "Smasher", a soldier equipped with a grappling hook. Using this weapon, you’ll have to smash bubbles together: their numbers will then add up. Smash bubbles so their numbers match the goal number displayed on top of the screen to earn points! But beware, if your soldier get hit by a bubb

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

This article relates the design of an escape game for a session of a combinatorial optimization course named “Escape Classroom”. The aim is to give more appeal to this very complex course based on difficult mathematic concepts. The aim is to reinforce the knowledge and skills of the students and to make&

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

A video game for learning is a complex computer system whose objective is to teach a learner new skills in a specific area of knowledge. Interdisciplinary teams responsible for this type of video game face significant communication and design challenges. They must therefore be able to rely on a formal and well-structured process in order to deal with the delicacy of bringing together education and video games. The method described in this paper combines instructional engineering video game devel

AbstractContextThe growing field of new technologies offers new ways to tackle psychiatric disorders (e.g. virtual reality therapy, neurofeedback, etc.). Serious games (SG) are computer applications combining serious aspects with the fun side of video games. This kind of new media could find applications to treat psychiatric disorders.ObjectiveThis paper summarizes available data in the literature about therapeutic interventions using SG in psychiatry.MethodA Medline search was conducted in May

AbstractThe evolving technologies of the game engines and the Web have reached a level of maturity that enables them to contribute significantly to the long-celebrated blending of culture and education with gaming. In this work, we present DynaMus, an innovative fully dynamic Web-based virtual museum framework that relies entirely on users’ creativity and on the exploitation of the rich content in distributed Web resources. DynaMus is able to connect to popular repositories, such as Europe

In French-speaking research, the expression ‘serious gaming’ is used in English in order to refer to the practice of diverting videogames aimed at three new, functional purposes: the diffusion of message(s), training and data collection. ‘Serious games’ are thus distinguished from ‘serious gaming’: while the end result may appear similar (combining games with educational purposes), serious gaming applies new functions a posteriori. To highlig

Abstract: In this article a summary is made of the use of standard electronic game’s methods in e-learning. It shows how game-elements and game-mechanics can be applied in e-learning environments. Different types of Serious games – Game-based learning, Gamification of learning, Organizational-dynamic games, Simulation Games and Edutainment have been discussed. The article introduces the game-based model for learning and 70:20:10 education framework. There are examples for e-Lear
