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
RDU accompaniment model applyed to serious game : confrontation with the ecosystem of secondary education (Broacasting our studies)
Summary. – This study addresses the issue of the appropriation of the Serious Game as technical object, by offering a model identifying a set of accompaniments to promote such a process. This model, called RDU, presents three main types of accompaniments: Realization, Dissemination and Use. Together, they comprise fifteen types of distinct accompaniments. The purpose of this study, after describing its development, is to experience on the field this RDU model applied to the Serious Games. [...]Keywords : Accompaniment, Appropriation, Ecosystem, Education, School, Serious Game, Model
A Paradigm for the Development of Serious Games for Health as Benefit Delivery Systems (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games are developed with the purpose of bestowing a benefit on the user. That benefit could be related to the user’s health, education, safety or efficiency. We propose that the mechanism that the game employs to achieve such a benefit should be identified as the key to the development of a successful serious game. We introduce a paradigm for the design and development of serious games as benefit delivery systems. We suggest that the paradigm can apply to all applica [...]Keywords : Serious game, Health, Health game, Healthcare
A Multi-Agent Simulation of Serious Games to Predict Their Impact on E-Learning Processes (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games constitute actually a recent and attractive way supposed to replace the classical boring courses. However, the choice of the adapted serious game to a specific learning environment remains a challenging task that makes teachers unwilling to adopt this concept. To fill this gap, we present, in this paper, a multi-agent-based simulator allowing to predict the impact of a serious game integration in a learning environment given several game and players characteristics. [...]Keywords : Emotion, Learning process, Multi-agent simulation, Serious games
Realistic Simulation of Cultural Heritage (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOne of the most challenging problems in the simulation of real environments is to generate worlds that appear realistic and more attractive. It becomes increasingly challenging when the simulated environment focuses on minors (students), because the young generation has high demands on simulation systems due to their experience in computer gaming. Virtual museums are among the most important simulation environments, which present cultural and educational content for everyone. Their purpo [...]Keywords : Cultural Heritage , Serious game
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
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
Learning Business Process Management through Serious Games: Feedbacks on the Usage of INNOV8 (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Business processes play a major role in the Information System (IS) domain. Business Process Management (BPM) approaches offer languages, methods and tools for modeling, execution and optimizing business processes. However, these approaches are often difficult to understand by the learners. In particular, the modeling phase often remains abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real settings. In order ato better motivate BPM learners, several BPM's Serious Games (SG) has bee [...]Keywords : Games, Companies, Training, Information systems, Business process management, Graphics, serious games (computing), business data processing
