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
Learning game 2.0: support à l'apprentissage collaboratif par la modification de jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)
Les outils de modding créés depuis quelques années permettent aux joueurs de modifier leurs jeux vidéo de plus en plus facilement. On observe que les personnes qui ont modifié un jeu acquièrent à cette occasion des connaissances sur son fonctionnement et ses contenus. L'idée que nous développons ici est l'application de ce principe aux learning games, pour faire du jeu 2.0 un moyen d'appropriation des connaissances accessible à [...]Keywords : Apprentissage collaboratif, Learning game, Modding
Feedback on the integration of a serious game in the data modeling learning (Broacasting our studies)
Data Modeling (DM) is an important area in the Information System (IS) learning. In particular, in the IS analysis phase business analysts need to provide a comprehensive notation to avoid misunderstanding between software engineers and customer. Teaching DM is a challenging task, mainly because it lays great emphasis on theory. It remains often abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real setting. In order to better motivate learners, this paper aims to assess the integration of Se [...]Keywords : Serious Games, Gamification, Innovation Minitrack, Data modeling learning, INNOV8, IS learning, Teaching DM

Serious Games for Learning : a model and a reference architecture for efficient game development (Broacasting our studies)
Summary Digital Serious Games (SGs) are gaining increasing importance as educational and training tools. However, there is still a long way to make them widely deployed. On the one hand, balancing fun and educational elements in a SG is not trivial and requires understanding how these games can be designed to support effective and efficient learning. On the other hand, actual development can be costly and time-consuming, involving large teams of people from different backgrounds, who often [...]Keywords : Serious game, Learning

IMPROVING SERIOUS GAME DESIGN THROUGH A DESCRIPTIVE CLASSIFICATION: A COMPARATION OF METHODOLOGIES (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT Serious game provides an instructional tool to make the learning process more enjoyable, easier to memorize and effective. It combines pedagogy goals and game play to increase the participant interest and engagement compared to traditional methods. In this paper, we compare several methodologies of game design relative to our classification proposal; it can assist the analysis and evaluation of serious game design, we illustrate how this classification helps several actors of desi [...]Keywords : Comparative Study, Serious Game, Learning, Game Design
