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
A Serious Game for the development of the professional skills of operators in aseptic zone : definition of a holistic model of design and usage studie (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Serious games (SGs) are a very widespread training and evaluation device, employed in different sectors of school and adult education. In this study we aim to design and develop a SG for training and evaluating personals working in aseptic environment. We will present in this research the theoretical basis needed for that design process. We will define a holistic and united model (PEGADE), which describes the collaborative and optimal process to conceive SGs and which is constructe [...]Keywords : Serious game, Serious game Design, Simulation, Gamification, Instructional Design, Virtual Reality
