Between Game and Reality: Using Serious Games to Analyze Complex Interaction Processes in Air Traffic Management (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractIn 2010 the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull paralyzed a large part of the European air traffic. Results were massive restrictions in the European and intercontinental air traffic.

Game Dimensions and Pedagogical Dimension in Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)

On the other hand, if entertainment predominates over content, this can also limit learning opportunities. Another ma [...]Keywords : Serious game, Design, Education, Digital games, Modèles

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.
