This chapter on the work of gamification aims to question the concept of gamification when it is part of prescribed managerial training devices. A distinction is made between simulator and serious game, then between serious game and serious gaming, and finally, we ask ourselves which name is more appropriate in the light of our research findings. A new name seems more appropriate than gamification, and could be degamification.Keywords : Serious game, Gamification, Ungamification, Serious gaming, Simulator, Training, Management

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 [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Video Game, Learning, Instructional Design, Method
Communication system and team situation awareness in a multiplayer real-time learning environment: application to a virtual operating room (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractDigital multi-player learning games are believed to represent an important step forward in risk management training, especially related to human factors, where they are trusted to improve the performance of a team of learners in reducing serious adverse events, near-misses and crashes in complex socio-technical systems. Team situation awareness is one of the critical factors that can lead the team to consider the situation with an erroneous mental representation. Then, inadequate decisio [...]Keywords : Digital collaborative environment, Team situation awareness, Communication, Information, Decision Making, Learning game, Virtual environment, Socio-technical system

Entraves à l'attitude ludique avec un jeu sérieux intégré dans une formation managériale : un exercice plus qu'un jeu ? (Broacasting our studies)
This article explores the boundary between the world of simulation games (referred to as « serious games »), and work. Our interest was in examining a helicopter simulator integrated game used to train 350 managers per year. This qualitative research, based on the theoretical and methodological framework of the psychosociology of work, aims at understanding the perception which professionals, namely managers, have, of the device and its environment, as well as the way they [...]Keywords : game, exercise, serious game, training, playful attitude

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
